River City Vineyard is a church and community centre in Sarnia, Ontario. We are part of the Association of Vineyard Churches in Canada. This is a growing movement of churches across Canada, sharing resources and relationship, as we serve Jesus and make Him known.
Our goal is to serve our city with as many areas of community outreach as possible. In addition to our Sunday services, through the week we operate an emergency food bank and "snack pack" program, a shower program (where anyone is able to come and take a hot shower and receive any required toiletries), a “free” store (where donated clothing and small household items are free for the taking), a community garden and a homeless shelter. Our current homeless shelter houses 25 beds, and these beds are almost always full. We have recently opened our new homeless shelter expansion that houses 40 additional beds, including 15 beds specifically for women. After over 3 years of hard work, we are so excited to finally have our expansion open!
River City Vineyard holds the belief that every person in society deserves to have a place to sleep, a place to wash, a place to eat, and to be fully clothed. These are the necessities of life. Our mission is to ensure that even the most marginalized and vulnerable in our local community can have access to these necessities, while also feeling loved and accepted just as they are.
The sign on top of the front door of our building reads “Come as you are, you will be loved”, and we strive to live this out for each and every individual that we serve!
