Grapevine Community Church developed from a house church in 1995 and consists of people from a wide range of differing backgrounds. God always comes first and all that we do should be in response to our love for Him.

Every church is different and no church is perfect, so why not take some time to get to know other people at Grapevine? Make some friends, see how the church operates, and consider whether you like it. You are not under any pressure at all.

Vision - Looking forward

The vision for Grapevine developed as a result of prayer, submission to God, and guidance received by prophecies. We believe that our mission can be summarised by following:

To love God, to love each other, to love others enough to tell what Jesus has done

We see the vision of the Church to show people the love of Christ and encourage them to become his, so they in turn can then minister to more people.

Our vision is summarised as:               

New start, new love, new life.

Matthew 28:18-20 “Jesus came and told his disciples, ‘I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’”
