"They

From this passage five principle points have emerged which serve as guiding priorities for the Vineyard.  Each of these priorities are equally important to us and we are deeply committed to achieving each one of them in a practical way:

EQUIPPING - Being a place where the Word of God is taught so that believers grow to maturity and are equipped to serve God in dynamic and productive ways.

(Acts 2:42)

COMMUNITY - Being a thriving community where relationships are valued and where sacrificial love for one another and for those outside the church is freely expressed.

(Acts 2:42, 44 - 46)

PRAYER - Being consistently and powerfully engaged in prayer.

(Acts 2:42)

WORSHIP - Being a place where anyone who desires may find opportunity for personal expression of worship to God. 

(Acts 2:47)

EVANGELISM - Being a place where seekers are welcomed and consistently presented the Gospel in such a way that they have opportunity to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives.  We further envision Vineyard to be a place where believers are equipped and released to present the Gospel message to those outside the church. 

(Acts 2:47)

And the Lord added to their number

devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching

and to the

  fellowship,

to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Everyone

was filled with awe, and many wonders and

miraculous signs were done by the apostles.

All the believers

were together

and had everything in

common.

Selling

their possessions and goods, they

gave

to anyone as he had need.

Every day

they continued to meet

  together in the temple courts.

They broke bread in their homes

and ate together

with glad and sincere hearts,

praising God and enjoying the favor of all                        the people.

daily those who were being saved."

Acts 2: 42-47
