vineyard values

At Coventry Vineyard, we value:

::Apprenticeship to Jesus::

We choose to become like Jesus - the Master of living life. We desire that Jesus’ love, mercy, grace, truth, purity, power, and integrity shine through in all we do. We seek to be responsive to the Holy Spirit in life and ministry.

::Being Real::

We seek to be real in our faith, in our relationships, and in our love for Jesus and one another.

::The Bible::

We believe the Bible gives God’s wisdom on how to live life. Our desire is to apply the truth found in the Bible into our daily lives.

::Worship::

We want to please God in all that we do. We want our lives to be an act of worship – to give God the credit. To give God all attention, affection, and honor we could ever offer him.

::Love::

The goal of faith is love. Learning to love God, ourselves, and our neighbours is our highest priority in the kingdom of God.

::Community::

We aim to work together to build the church through maintaining mutual respect, open communication, determined cooperation, and believing and speaking the best about each other. We recognize that we are just one small part of the larger gathering of Jesus' church in our community and across the earth. It is our desire to walk in real unity with one another and with believers.

::Integrity::

By God's grace and transforming power, we desire for all the pieces of our lives to be brought together into the kind of wholeness and holiness that pleases God. It is important to us to speak the truth, deal honestly, and live uprightly.

::Active Faith::

Our relationship with Jesus convinces us to not just believe the truth, but to also put His truth into practice in our lives. Active faith compels us to serve the continuing work of Jesus by embracing His ministry to the poor, the hurting, the sick, and the lost. Every person in the church has a part to play in this work by praying, giving, and serving in the strength of God and the gifts of His Spirit.

::Being Culture Current::

We reflect this through a popular style of worship music. We aim to develop an atmosphere of ease to speak, act, and dress in ways which can readily be responded to positively.
