Harmony Vineyard Church

What are services like?
A typical service at Harmony Vineyard is built around one thing: the presence of God. We want every service to be an opportunity for you to encounter God, so we have tried to structure our services around things that draw people into an encounter with Him.  PRAISE: During every service we spend time singing songs to God, and turning our hearts toward Him. We believe that God inhabits the praises of His people – so when we worship Him and take time to focus our hearts on Him, His tangible presence will come.  PRESENCE: Following worship, we focus on His presence. During this time we have people positioned around the room who will pray for you – for anything that may be going on in your life. Also, people may come up front and speak what they feel God wants to say to the church. For example, someone may hear God say that someone is suffering with a certain issue. Then, who ever is suffering with it knows God wants to deal with it. This time of God’s presence is led by the Holy Spirit, not us, so it can change.  PREACHING: As much as we value the Spirit of God and His working and moving. we also value balance. That balance comes from the Bible. Everything preached at HVC is rooted in scripture. The feel of the service itself is casual, loving, and even fun. Church should feel freeing, not restrictive, so we always try to have that feeling of freedom in our service. At HVC you’ll find there’s freedom to worship, freedom to laugh or cry, and freedom to be your true, honest self. 

What is the community like?
Our church is about two things: walking with God, and walking with each other. Our community is truly an ever-expanding family of loving, caring people who will walk with you through life's everyday ups and downs. It’s a place where we all learn how best to “do life,” from God and from each other. The world is a cold and judgmental place. We believe the church should be just the opposite. After all, it’s called a “sanctuary” for a reason! And that’s what it is – a place where you will feel safe, surrounded by a loving family, both in our Sunday service and even more so in one of our weekly small groups. You will have a place at the table in this family.

What if I'm not a Christian?
You don’t have to be a Christian to come to our church. Wherever you find yourself on life’s journey, we will love you and respect you just as you are. Obviously, we want you to become a follower of Jesus, but that’s between you and Him. We will give you the information and the tools you can use to find and develop a relationship with Him, but we will never force you.
