About
River City Vineyard Vision
1
"We come together to celebrate God's goodness and faithfulness."
We need a sense of God’s dynamic presence as we worship and come before Him. We also need encouragement, teaching, and an opportunity to give of our resources.
2
"This is a safe place to be."
Redemptive relationships allow us to know one another deeply and to be known by others. The Christian life is lived out with people. What we receive from the Lord is always matured, tested and developed in the context of people, like you, in the Body of Christ.

"We don't have a membership - we have a ministry team."
We must function in a ministry of some sort. We all need an opportunity to give away and to lay our lives down for others. To simply receive and not give will result in a theoretical walk and a people full of information but lacking in practical reality. We must, therefore, lay down our lives as Jesus did, in serving others in an on-going ministry of some sort. We encourage people to become involved in a ministry that is existing, or to find a need and begin to minister in that place.
Our Priorities
A. WORSHIP
- We desire to worship God with all our hearts. We want Jesus to be central as the Lord of our lives. We hunger for the fullness of the Spirit...His glory resting upon us.
- We desire Spirit-enabled worship in a style that is intimate, dynamic, cultural, and life changing.
B. THE WORD
- We want to hear the Word of God taught in a practical, inspiring way. We wish to hear God's current prophetic Word in conjunction with it.
- We aim to hear and obey God's Word to us...to be "doers of the Word" who are transformed and becoming more like Jesus.
C. FELLOWSHIP
- We are the family of God, one Body in Jesus Christ, joined together as brothers and sisters forever.
- We seek to develop real, intimate, enabling friendships together, built on covenant love and faithfulness.
D. MINISTRY
- We believe that all Christians are called to serve Christ in the power of His Spirit, in ways that build up the local church.
- We are called to:
- preach the gospel of the Kingdom
- persuade men to repent and believe in Jesus
- heal the sick care for the poor and those in need
- counsel those in need of God's wisdom
- teach believers to follow Christ
- give to the work of Christ
- train Christians to serve the Lord
E. TRAINING
- We believe that all Christians should be trained to "do" the works of Christ.
- We are committed to the "show and tell" model of training, in, which trainees are introduced to ministry and then nurtured during and after the training experience. We aim to provide training for all aspects of responsible Christian life and ministry.
F. SENDING
- We aim to send trained personnel out on short-term "catalytic team" ministry assignments both to renew the church and enable church planting.
- We aim to help plant 100 Vineyards in our regions and 10,000 Vineyards around the world in our generation.
