Who We Are

Who We Are

We Are Vineyard

Vineyard Church is a spiritual family where everyone is welcome—just as you are. Whether you’re exploring faith or have been following Jesus for years, you’ll find a warm community at our Grafton and Milwaukee campuses learning together what it means to love God and love others.

We’re part of the Vineyard USA family of churches, rooted in the historic and biblical faith of the Church and open to the life and power of the Holy Spirit today. Our hope is that every person would experience the goodness of God in real and personal ways.

As we share the good news of Jesus and join Him in doing good wherever we are, we get to be part of what God is doing—changing lives, renewing neighborhoods, and transforming the world through His love.

Our Purpose

To grow as a community of disciples who passionately 

Love God,
Love Others,
Period.

Our Core Values

If our purpose defines what we do, our values define how we do it. Values are deeply held and broadly endorsed beliefs about what is important to the people who hold them. They are not mere slogans. If values are real, they shape everything we do!

Authenticity

Transparency, genuineness, a commitment to what is real, rather than pretense or hype, in both who we are and what we do.

Inclusivity

Everyone is welcome, everyone is needed. Come as you are, you will be loved, and everybody gets to play. True unity is only found in diversity.

Healthy Relationships

The primary sign that we are followers of Jesus is our love for one another.

Hope

Our confidence is in our good God who always loves us, is always with us, is always at work in every circumstance, and who is making all things new.

Generosity

Being like Jesus means being generous with our lives, our love, our gifts and talents, our time, and our resources.

Our Beliefs

Vineyard Church is committed to the historic, orthodox beliefs of the Christian Church, rooted in the teachings of the Bible and defined in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds.

Unity

Unity

IN ESSENTIAL BELIEFS - WE HAVE UNITY

"There is one Body and one Spirit… there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of us all…"  Ephesians 4:4-6

Liberty

Liberty

IN NON-ESSENTIAL BELIEFS - WE HAVE LIBERTY

"Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand."  Romans 14:1,4

Love

Love

IN ALL OUR BELIEFS - WE SHOW LOVE

“… If I hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but also the very secrets of God, and if I have the faith that can move mountains - but have no love, I amount to nothing at all.” I Corinthians 13:2

The Nicene Creed

The Nicene Creed is the most widely accepted and used statement of the Christian faith. We have adopted the Nicene Creed as our statement of faith because of its clarity in expressing our essential beliefs and because it unites us with the Christian Church worldwide.

The Nicene Creed


We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.


AMEN.

Our Priorities

Jesus taught us to pray: Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is heaven. He also told us to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. So here at the Vineyard, we endeavor to live that out by being Kingdom of God people who:

We depend on the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, so that we can be the people we are called to be, hear God’s voice, and join Jesus in his kingdom work. We trust the Holy Spirit to empower us to bring God’s love, healing, and freedom to others.

Rather than simply learning about God, we seek to know God personally and intimately as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Worship is central to our lives, as a way to express our love and gratefulness to our God who loves us.

Jesus is reconciling all people to God, to each other, and to all of creation. So we join him in that work by being intentionally inclusive, working to heal division and disunity, and caring for the creation which God entrusted to us.

We lean toward the lost, the poor, the outcast, and the outsider with the compassion of Jesus. We seek to alleviate suffering and injustice, freely giving to others the grace and mercy we have received.

We want to communicate and demonstrate the good news of Jesus in ways that speak to and make sense to people in the 21st century. We will listen to the Holy Spirit, and join in the work God is already doing, whenever, wherever, and however he leads us.
