"Shepherd's Vineyard - A Christian Church where God's word is planted and Christians grow."
Shepherd's Vineyard is a Christian Church that blends some of the traditional values of the Church of yesterday with the modern values of today. This fellowship was created to fill the
need of having a local church that is interactive with our fast paced society, yet remains committed to providing sound Christian guidance using the Holy Bible as our guide. We are
committed to providing people with real solutions to the real problems that challenge us today. We are also committed to spreading God's word to believers and non-believers so that it
becomes a part of their daily life.

Real people with real challenges and real solutions.
We are focused on changing lives one step at a time. Our focus is on helping people to understand that God accepts them as they are, with whatever faults, shortcomings, or dysfunctions
they may have and to encourage them to accept God. We have a true desire to have our members stand out not simply by what they say, but what they do. It is our commitment to teach
our members that they can live their lives without shame and through growth in God's word they can be transformed and mature Christians. Collectively, we are interested in helping the
overlooked, under-appreciated, and unaccepted to cultivate a relationship with Jesus and grow with God.

Mission Statement
We aim to plant the word of Christ in the hearts of many, train and teach so that many more may be reached.
Vision
Shepherd’s Vineyard aims to be a Christian Church that reaches out to non-believers of the Christian lifestyles, virtues, morals, and beliefs. We aim to gather non-believers and believers of
Christ in an effort to unify all in the belief and spirit of the Lord. We aim to spread the gospel of Christ to believers through the power of the Holy Spirit and biblical instruction, with an
intent to cause non-believers to seek conversion. We intend on spreading this gospel through worship, media, and word of mouth.
We see a future in which people will be able to worship at home as well as they can in a corporate church environment. We see a future whereby people are comfortable incorporating
technology as a means to reach all for Christ in an effort to share his desire for them to receive salvation. We see a future whereby people will be enthusiastic and proud to proclaim the
gospel of Christ not simply because it is popular, expected of them, or the thing to do, but because they have a genuine relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and desire to do
so. It is because of this relationship, that we foresee people casually but graciously proclaiming the word of God and bringing many into his presence as they are able to be themselves and
influence others.
Statement of Basic Beliefs
We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God and the basis for our beliefs. This church subscribes to the belief that the Holy Bible is a true and accurate guide that we are to
follow as believers. We voluntarily band ourselves together as a church in Jesus Christ personally committed to sharing the good news of God’s saving grace to those who do not believe or
may not understand the gift. The ordinances of this church are baptism (by sprinkling, pouring, or immersion) and the Lord’s Supper.
Church Covenant
Having been lead as we believe by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God and this assembly most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.
We commit, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its
prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, doctrines, and discipline; to contribute willfully and consistently to the support of the ministry, the expenses of this church,
charitable causes, and the spread of the Word of God to as many people and populations as we are enabled.
We also commit to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk cautiously, carefully, and
prudently in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our commitments, and exemplary in our behavior; to avoid all idle talk, chatter, gossip, harsh verbiage, and excessive anger; to
abstain from immoral and illegal acts and behavior; to be passionate and eager in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior Jesus Christ.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly and sisterly love; to remember one another in prayer; to aid one another in sickness and distress; to foster growth for Christian
sympathy in feeling and Christian courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation and mindful of the rules of our Savior Jesus Christ to secure it without
delay.
We moreover commit that when we depart from this church, we will as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles
of God’s Word.

A Church home where you can feel at home! (Overview)
At Shepherd's Vineyard, we truly believe that you should come as you are. We want our members and guests to feel as comfortable as they would in
their own home when they are in the house of the Lord. We want everyone as relaxed as much as possible when showing and sharing their devotion to
God. At our Fellowship we welcome you and any baggage or sins that you may have. As pastor, I will be the first to tell you that none of us are perfect,
nevertheless with God's guidance we can work toward perfection and lead more fulfilling Christ-like lives. With any change, resistance can surface, but we
are committed at the Vineyard to help subdue it during this continuous transition of growth as a Christian.
Again, when we say come as you are, we mean it. If you want to wear a fancy suit, that's okay; if you want to wear casual clothing, that's okay; if you
want to wear jeans; that's okay, we simply want you in service with us. We are interested in the Christian life you are trying to wear - not your clothing.
Regardless of your background, ethnicity, social or economic status, you are welcome.
