VISION
At Teesside Vineyard we are called to be an authentic, compassionate and diverse community of believers following Jesus together and pursuing God’s presence. We practice the way of Jesus, extending His kingdom further & serving the people of our region. We seek to train and equip disciples, develop new leaders, and live generously.
-
Authenticity – living Christ centred lives, living with honesty integrity, being like Jesus in everyday life.
-
Compassionate Community – indiscriminately preferring one another, sharing Christs loves with each other & those we meet.
-
Followers of Christ – learning from Jesus through God’s word & personal revelation and relationship with the holy spirit.
-
Pursuit of God’s Presence – we welcome and expect the presence of the holy spirit to guide us through worship, the prophetic, in prayer and fellowship together.
-
Practice the ways of Jesus – stepping out despite fear, worry or concern. Seeking God’s Kingdom to come through everyday acts of compassion and with the expectation or hope of the supernatural breaking through.
-
Extending God’s Kingdom – Kingdom mentality, future hope. That our hope is not based on current circumstance or situations but in the promises of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, we are not citizens of a nation or country but of the kingdom of God.
-
Serving the Poor – we are called to use whatever skills & gifts that God has given us to serve and help all those in need.
-
Discipleship – As a church we seek to value and grow the gifts and skills God has given each individual.
-
Develop Leaders – we seek to invest in and grow new leaders within the church, calling out the destiny God has placed in individuals and their specific gifting.
-
Live Generously – we seek to be a Church that is known for its generosity with our time, gifts, finances, and hearts.
-
Freedom – we believe that Christ died to give us freedom, we seek God’s physical healing, inner healing ministry, and an understanding of our identity in Christ.
-
God’s Word – we believe that the bible is the inspired word of God and therefore the teaching needs to carry integrity and always seek truth.
-
Prayer – we believe everything starts and ends with prayer, to break strongholds, lay foundations, thanksgiving, and praise, and set people free.
