Mission: The Vision/Plan for The Vineyard Ministries Dr. Jacob S. Hopson, Th.D., Senior Pastor In a community saturated with religion, our goal is to avoid the promulgation of programmatic cultural-Christianity, while seeking to bring pure and undefiled religion in the name of Christ. The plan we have as a church seeks to be biblical with several interrelated aspects. First, The Vineyard will increase numerically, if God wills. However, church growth is not our goal; gospel growth and an increase in the Word is our aim. We desire to mature in Christ and be faithful witnesses for Christ. We pray that God’s word would increase among us and that the gospel would grow in our midst. Gospel growth is our goal. We will water and plant while trusting God for the increase. We realize the need for change and by God’s grace, we will become firmly established in our faith seeking to be disciple-making disciples. In order to achieve these goals we plan to do the following: Focus less on programs and more on people. Our goal is people growth and not program growth. We desire to keep from viewing people as a means to an end of ecclesiastic growth. Our desire is to encourage each other to walk in Christ, rooted and built up in him, well established in the faith. Gospel growth will come through proclaiming Christ, warning everyone in Christ, and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. To achieve these goals we will struggle with all of his energy that he powerfully works within us. We seek to do this daily and encourage each other in Christ to be faithful to our calling. Preach the word in season and out of season. Utilizing the traditional meetings will accomplish this goal. By training the people of the church, through our various meetings, how to share the gospel in a variety of ways, we pray the God will give the increase. Preach the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation. Preach the gospel to the regenerate and unregenerate alike. Preach the gospel in its fullest and richest sense, knowing that in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith. Second, we believe that if we equip the church to do the work of the ministry each person will uniquely utilize the gifts of the Spirit for the glory of Christ. Each person will use his or her gifts for the common good of the body of Christ making it grow, being built up in love. Through this ministry, the church will become a more lucid gospel witness. This gospel witness will be evident in three ways: In the lives of individual members displaying the fruit of the Spirit, while speaking boldly for Christ where he has placed them. In our gatherings. We will seek to display and proclaim Christ in all that we do. Our meetings shall contain the verbal proclamation of the gospel as well as a visual witness to the power of the gospel in changed lives as we fellowship. And not only in changed lives but also in how we interact with the people of God.

Upon walking in the door for the first time, my husband and I were welcomed as family. We knew this was the church home for us. After having his 3rd spinal surgery, my husband walked out of service carrying his cane and neck brace over his shoulder; I've never personally seen that kind of healing. The Vineyard is truly God's anointed house. Then when the Storehouse grocery store opened, I couldn't believe what we were able to purchase for less than $40. Being that it's only my husband and I, we ate for about 2 weeks on all of this! The Vineyard/Store has truly been a blessing to us; we are being fed in so many ways.

Excellent prices and service. I was able to reduce my grocery bill for a family of 6 from over $800 a month to less than $200. That’s a quarter of what I used to spend and we are getting not only better quality and fresher food but top of the line food! I’m talking about eating shrimp, crab legs, steak, and oxtails!
