Thank you so much for taking some time to check out our website. When people ask us “what kind of church are you starting?” A Vineyard church is our standard answer. This is almost always followed with a quizzical look and the follow up question “what’s a Vineyard Church?” Here are a few points to answer that question:

• Simply put we are a people who want to follow Jesus and make him famous in our community.
• We believe you can know and experience God in personal, tangible, and practical ways. And not just on Sundays! This stuff is either real all the time or not at all.  
• We believe church should be understandable. In other words, we speak normal, everyday language to communicate what the Bible says about Jesus, relationships, faith, sin, money… real life experiences.
• We study the Bible, talk with God, listen to God, and then we want to do the stuff Jesus did. “Doin’ the Stuff” – expressing God’s great love and mercy through praying for people, caring for those who need it most, fighting evil in all of its forms… that's what Jesus did.
• We believe that we are only one expression of the church here in Farmington.  You will find on this website links to other churches that are “Friends of the Vineyard.” You might wonder why we would “advertise” other churches. This is why:

  ∙ As pastors’ in Farmington we all gather together each Wednesday and pray for each other, our churches and our community.

  ∙ These churches welcomed our church plant with open arms and hearts.

  ∙ We are all on the same team with the same Leader and the same hope for Farmington.

  ∙ If Middle Creek isn’t a fit for you we want you to find some place to call your church home. So we can whole heartedly recommend these churches and these pastors to you.

This is the kind of Church we want to be. A condensed version of these points could be said:
Middle Creek Vineyard … real God, real people, real church, real life.

If that sounds like a church you could be a part of, we would love to meet you and share our vision for Middle Creek Vineyard. Please feel free to contact us with your questions or drop on down to Middle Creek and introduce yourself. We look forward to seeing y’all real soon.
