Values
Salvation
God loves us so much that He gave His Son, Jesus, who willingly laid down His life as a perfect sacrifice for our sin and failure. What we could not do on our own, Jesus did! We are saved by the free gift of grace, through faith. The Scripture tells us, “whoever believes in their hearts and confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord, will be saved.”
God the Father
The eternally existent One, forever holy and perfectly loving Creator and Sustainer of Heaven and Earth, of all things visible and invisible. Who was, who is, and who is to come.
Jesus
God’s only Son, eternal and holy, entered into creation, having been conceived by the Spirit and born of a virgin. He revealed God the Father by living His life without sin, choosing to suffer and die for the sins of the world. Jesus came to defeat sin and death and give us eternal life, both now and forever. He rose from the dead on the third day, offering salvation and eternal life to everyone who accepts this free gift.
The Holy Spirit
The life and presence of God living within the believer, teaching, comforting, equipping, and empowering each one to live life in its fullness as sons and daughters of God. We believe in the filling or the empowering of the Holy Spirit, often a conscious experience, for ministry today. We believe in the present ministry of the Spirit and in the exercise of all of the Biblical gifts of the Spirit. We practice the laying on of hands for the empowering of the Spirit, for healing, and for recognition and empowering of those whom God has ordained to lead and serve the Church.
The Bible
We believe that the Holy Spirit inspired the human authors of Holy Scripture so that the Bible is without error in the original manuscripts. We receive the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as our final, absolute authority, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
The Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is God’s rule and reign on Earth as it is in Heaven. The Kingdom of God was the central mission and message of Jesus. To miss the significance of the Kingdom in the gospels is to fail to understand the life, work, and teaching of Christ. His ministry was the ministry of the Kingdom; his teaching showed men and women how to enter it; his works proved it had come; his parables taught its mysteries; and his prayers taught the disciples to desire its full expression. We believe the Kingdom is not just a future hope but something that we experience in the present.
Women
The Vineyard Movement believes that every area of leadership is open to both men and women who have the desire for humble service to the community of believers, and whose God-given gifting and calling for leadership has been recognized and affirmed by the church community.
