GO TO EVENTS TAB UNDER MENU TO SIGN UP FOR CLASSES AND EVENTS
We want our guests to feel welcome, and encouraged to return! When you arrive through the main entrance with the round patio, walking straight will get you to the sanctuary. Or, you may want to visit our cafe for free coffee before going to the sanctuary. The cafe and main restrooms are to the right as soon as you enter the building.
When entering through the main entrance take a right to pass the cafe and main restroom area to get to our Kidzone area. On your way there you will walk through a doorway that will bring you to the check-in area. We have volunteers ready to meet you and help get your child(ren) registered for their correct room. Please allow time for an extra few minutes with first time child(ren) registration.
We understand the family dynamics of first time visiting, so we also allow children of all ages to join you in the main service as well!
BELIEFS
WE BELIEVE that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.
WE BELIEVE that the SCRIPTURES of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice.
WE BELIEVE in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit; perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and His personal, visible return to earth.
WE BELIEVE in the HOLY SPIRIT, Who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and power for ministry all who believe in Christ; we believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher and Guide. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all the Biblical gifts of the Spirit, as written in Acts 1:8, Romans 12:6-8, 1 Corinthians 12: 4-10, and Ephesians 4: 11-16.
WE BELIEVE that all men are sinners by nature and choice and, therefore, under condemnation, that God regenerates by the Holy Spirit, those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord; that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit and empowers them for service, often subsequent to regeneration.
WE BELIEVE in the universal CHURCH, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ committed two ORDINANCES to the Church: Baptism, The Lord's Supper, We believe in baptism by immersion and communion open to all believers.
WE BELIEVE also in the LAYING ON OF HANDS for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, for ordination of ministers and deacons, and for receiving gifts of the Spirit or healing.
WE BELIEVE in the personal, visible RETURN OF CHRIST to earth and the establishment of His Kingdom; in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous and endless suffering of the wicked.
WE BELIEVE in what is termed "THE APOSTLE'S CREED" as embodying fundamental facts of Christian faith.
Founding Pastor Dave DiYanni and his wife Roxanna moved to Columbus, Ohio January 1, 1978, to start a new church on the eastside of the city. Our original name was Faith Chapel. Faith Chapel officially joined the Vineyard Association of churches on January 1, 2005, and changed their name to Vineyard Community Church. In October of 2020 Pastor Dave officially retired, and is still an active member of Vineyard Community Church.
