Our Mission & Vision
Mission Statement
Vineyard Christian Church exists to introduce people to Christ and develop them into mature disciples of Jesus who will then continue the process with others. Likewise, VCC exists to plant other churches that will carry out this mission in the communities in which they are planted.
Vision Statement
The vision statement for Vineyard Christian Church is "Connecting People with God and Each Other." We believe this statement conveys the mission statement in a simple, memorable way and also gives us a picture of what success as a church looks like. Success is defined by seeing people connect with God and others.
The following is a list of things that are consistent with our mission and vision and things we aspire to be:
- A church in which people profoundly encounter Jesus Christ in the teaching and worship.
- A church in which individuals are connected to each other through a small group.
- A church which holds a balance in Word and Spirit.
- A church which passes on the faith from generation to generation.
- A church which is characterized by individual and corporate prayer.
- A church where Biblical principles are so clearly and reasonably articulated, they make sense to a thinking follower of Christ, as well as to the unchurched person.
- A church where the power of God is present to heal people.
- A church where ministry is done by every member, not just the pastor.
- A church which cares about and actually does something for the poor and the needy.
- A church which doesn't simply grow by adding other churches' members, but actually brings many people from darkness to light.
- A church where people can easily take off religious masks and find real fellowship at the foot of the cross.
- A church which provides people with training both for ministry and for life.
- A church which loves and devotes a large share of its time, energy, and money to serve the needs of children.
- A church which is large enough and strong enough to impact the community and to plant other churches.
- A church where every endeavor is marked by excellence, integrity and love.
