About Yeovil Vineyard Church

Yeovil Vineyard Church is a church plant affiliated to the Association of Vineyard Churches in the UK.

God began to speak to us about starting a Vineyard church in Yeovil as far back as 1989, and through many miracles, trials and tribulations, led us here to take hold of the vision for which the kingdom of God has taken a hold of us.

Yeovil Vineyard church was planted out of Riverside Vineyard Church in Feltham, London and we began meeting together in 2009, so we are a relatively new church on the Yeovil landscape! We started Sunday evening services in April 2011 and we intend to start Sunday morning services by April 2012.

We believe that Jesus called us to reach out to the relationally broken people of Yeovil. We live in a world that suffers from relational brokenness at every level. This brokenness within us is the source of our pain, suffering and loneliness. God sent us here with the message that you can receive healing, that you can learn to overcome, learn to love again find real meaning and the true purpose of your life.

This is the good news we have been called to preach, that in Jesus, we will find everything we need to become whole again and live a life that is filled with the joy and peace of heaven. Our ultimate aim is to reconnect people to God, to establish a community in which people can belong and be connected to each other. Our goal is love: To love God and to love people.

Come, Receive the Father's Love!

About The Vineyard Movement

Visit Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland

The vineyard is a church movement that began during the 70's in California. John Wimber was the founder of the Association of Vineyard Churches. John was an accomplished professional musician, most noted for his involvement with the Righteous Brothers. John and Carol Wimber became Christians in 1963, after which John became more and more involved in the church. He studied theology and later became part of the Fuller Institute of Evangelism and Church Growth. The time John spent being exposed to "the whole church", studying the "rich tapestry of the church of Jesus Christ", gave him an invaluable education that he came to use as the Vineyard grew into an international movement.

Perhaps the Vineyard is most famous for transforming the face of worship in churches all over the world. Yet there are so many other things that we love about the Vineyard, such as its belief in the unity of the church and the priesthood of believers, expressed in the phrase: "Everyone gets to play!" John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
