Loving God, Living it out, All the time! Vineyard Values Values are ideals that you hold dear and guide all that you do and say. We value responsiveness: We believe that Jesus is our Head and the Holy Spirit our counselor. We seek to be responsive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every area of the Church’s life and ministry. As part of our responsiveness, we are committed to “give away our best” whether people or resources in order to expand God’s Kingdom. We value reality: We want every expression of ours—whether speech, music, architecture, or manner—to be non-hyped, natural, and reality based. We value relevance: We want to use music, terminology, and outreach methods that are in touch with the current culture of our community. We value relationships: We don’t want to be just a collection of individuals or a large crowd. God is looking for a people, a community, who share a corporate value system. Following Jesus happens in the context of relationships, not in isolation. We value righteousness: We seek to be completely truthful, consistent, and open in relationships with God, with others, and with ourselves. Vision Statement
The vision of the Vineyard Church of Wellsboro is to become a community of Biblically based believers, committed to worshiping and loving God with all our heart and mind and strength. Through loving relationships, and led by the Holy Spirit, we will learn together how to become more like Christ, and compassionately extend the ministry of Jesus to those around us. We will equip believers of all ages to intentionally advance the Kingdom of God in our homes, at work and school, in our communities, and throughout the world.
