We are a community of believers who have certain things that are important to us which we call values—these values determine and affect what we think and ultimately what we do.  For a more in-depth understanding of Vineyard Values, listen here. 

We offer a warm and inviting place to encounter God, connect with others, and serve the community we live in. Each one of us is in process and we are all at different points along the way. The heart of the Vineyard is to love and accept you where you are and to encourage you to move along the path toward God and becoming more like Jesus.

Our Five Core Values are: 

Authenticity and Simplicity—We desire to be real with each other and with God, not hiding behind a veneer of religious words or deeds. We dress in our regular clothes and talk in our regular voices.  We are not interested in putting on a show or a slick presentation or committed to using any particular formula or program. We are focused on seeking and experiencing the presence of God and His love that is demonstrated through Jesus Christ.

 Accessibility and Obedience—We want to make it as easy as possible for people to understand who we are, who we worship, and why we do what we do. We exist primarily for the sake of those exiled from God. At the same time, God gets to do what He wants among us. Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, and we gladly welcome every visitation of the Spirit of God. We believe our culture needs and hungers for miracles and the tangible evidence of God’s power, presence, and love. 

Integrity and Honor—We are committed to a lifestyle of holiness and we do our best to be the same in private as in public. We want to operate in a culture of honor—treating everyone with respect, encouragement and support. We are committed to working hard at relationships, believing that loving relationships are at the heart of the kingdom of God. 

Healing and Compassion--We want to create and sustain an atmosphere of healing; diligently pursuing specific healing ministries both for the physical body and for life’s hurts in order to demonstrate God’s love and His restorative power. We desire to open ourselves up to the marginalized, the lost, the poor and the outcast of society. We want to minister out of the compassion of God as people whose only standing before God is utterly dependent on His mercy. 

Intimacy and Community—We believe that as we move closer to God, He moves closer to us. Our daily worship to our Heavenly Father is something that He deserves and through it, He brings deep change within us. We pursue intimacy with God, never seeking God’s hand over God’s face. We value God’s power, but want to always place power in the context of God’s love. We want oneness with God’s heart; to love what He loves and hate what He hates. Signs and wonders and miracles will spring from that place of intimacy and will be safe and loving in their exercise. Jesus is reconciling humans to God, to each other, and to the entire creation, breaking down divisions between races, sexes, and social standing. We are committed to becoming a healing community engaged in the work of reconciliation wherever sin and evil have controlling influence.  The heart of all this is to build a community of love that will endure—people committed to each other, ministering together  in Christ’s name and becoming a people who collectively reflect Jesus Christ to the culture we live in. We value seeking and waiting on God’s presence in all that we do. We believe that in order to plan, we should pray first and do our best to see and hear what God is saying. 

Our Culture- We want to foster a certain culture in our fellowship; one of grace, mercy, tenderness and compassion. We want to be relevant to our culture without compromising the truth of the Gospel. We prefer to be casual in our meetings rather than formal.  

The heartbeat of the Vineyard is our Small Groups—everyone should be a part of one!
