Purpose and Vision

Our Purpose and Vision
"To Know Jesus and Make Him Known"
Our purpose is to enjoy and share the life-changing power and love of Jesus Christ. Since we began God has shown us that "To know Jesus and make Him known" is central to all that we do here. This mission statement is shared with many other Vineyards world-wide. It is centred around friendship with Jesus. As each one of us comes to Him, He freely gives us eternal life and a purpose f or living beyond our wildest dreams. Everything Jesus was, He still is. Everything that Jesus did, He still does. This is a place where lives are being changed as people experience God's acceptance, kindness and healing. From the very start, God placed in our hearts the vision of a regional church, that would have an impact over a wide area. By the River Clyde we are ever reminded that wherever God's river flows there will be life (Ezekiel 47:9). As a church God challenges us to be like a river, never a pond - always flowing and moving on, in order to bring His life and healing to others.
