A Church Building the Family of God
Without a vision, the people perish (Proverbs 29: 18b)
The name Vine Christian Fellowship is derived from John 15: 5, where Jesus said 'I am the Vine, you are the branches'. This passage encourages us the be Christ-centred and relationship-based and has been adopted as our signature verse. This is reflected in our logo, the bunch of grapes - 9 of them representing the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5 and our mission statement - Building the Family of God.
The DNA of the Vine can be summarised in the following expressions of our life together:
WORSHIP //
Spirit filled worship which leads people into the presence of God
BIBLICAL TEACHING //
Lifestyle related biblical teaching which guides people practically in how to live the Christian life
EVANGELISM //
Effective evangelism that brings people into the family of God
SPIRITUAL GIFTS //
Identification and use of the congregation's spiritual gifts
MINISTRY //
Ministry that involves the whole body of the church
LEADERSHIP //
Servant team leadership
Two pictures best sum up the sort of church we believe God wants us to be:
A LIGHTHOUSE // pointing people to Jesus
AN OASIS // a place for healing and refreshment
