Let’s go, Vineyard!

We envision a church that is a missional community used by God to see a greater advancement of His Kingdom. A church where people have a sense of belonging and enthusiastically invite others to become a part of it. We strive to be a church where our ministry to the minors is a major ministry, with children growing up to seek the Kingdom first. Becoming radical followers of Jesus. 


Services every Sunday at 10AM


WHAT WE BELIEVE

At our church, we believe that God is the Eternal King. He is an infinite, unchangeable spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power, and love. From all eternity He exists as the One Living and True God in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory. 


The Vineyard has unique characteristics that define our personality in the wider Church >>
