MISSION STATEMENT

 "...for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me."  (Matthew  25:35-36)

Vineyard Outreach is a Christian Ministry to the hungry, the emotionally wounded, the spiritually impoverished in the Vine Neighborhood.  As we come close to people at the place of their gifts, their sin, and their pain, the Good News of God's love is lived and shared.  We look for the Spirit to create a community where worship, service, and relationships mark the coming of God's kingdom.
