We are Vineyard.
About 125,000 people call our 500+ Vineyard churches home throughout the United States. We have a unique call to Kingdom theology, ministry of the Holy Spirit, justice, and building healthy churches. God is doing great things among us! We believe that this is just the beginning. We are Vineyard.
More than forty years ago, God gave the Vineyard a gift to steward. It was a gift rooted in a powerful vision of what church could be like with Jesus’s theology and practice of the already and not-yet Kingdom of God at its center.
