What do we believe?
To bring people to Jesus and membership in His family. Develop us all to Christ like maturity and equip us all for ministry as part of the Kingdom and life mission in the world in order to Magnify God's name.
What do we believe?
The people who meet at The Vine come from varying backgrounds and we are all on a journey. Hopefully we have all come to put our trust in God, as our Father, through His Son Jesus. We believe, as the bible does, that the church is the people of God , not a building.
Although we meet together on Sunday's we also meet during the week in home groups or cells where we can get to know each other better and encourage one another. Our meetings are mainly informal and we do not have a set plan to follow.
Leaders John & Sally see their role primarily to encourage, facilitate and motivate the individual members in their gift and ministries. (Ephesians 4). We believe that the church needs to be relevant to today's society, reaching out and ministering into the wider community.
A Christian is a person whose life has been transformed by The Holy Spirit of the Living God through faith in Jesus Christ.
A Christian is a person who:
- makes a conscious and declared decision to follow Christ. (Romans 10v9)
- knows they have been forgiven
- is born-again .(John 3v3)
- is a sinner saved by grace
- believes in One God in Three Persons God The Father, God the Son (Jesus) God The Holy Spirit.
A Christian is NOT (or should not be):
- someone good or trying to be good
- someone who just goes to church
- a Christian by birth
