OUR STORIES
NEXT STEPS
First Steps
It may sound silly, but the first and most important step toward personal spiritual growth is the desire to grow. ​Spiritual growth means that you are moving forward, making progress; that Christ is being formed in you; that your attitudes, thoughts, actions and character reflect those of Jesus Christ.
Wherever you're on your journey of faith, we hope that we can partner with you and help you follow Christ. We also know that everyone’s journey will not be the same. Your pathway may be different than someone else’s pathway. The important thing is that we all move towards Jesus Christ.

Baptism
If you have made the decision to follow Christ, baptism is an important next step! Matthew 28:19 says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." We believe that Baptism is a public proclamation of your decision to follow Christ and we want to celebrate that with you.
Baby Dedication
This ceremony provides parents and caregivers with an opportunity to publicly present their child(ren) to the Lord for His purposes in their child’s life. Here, parents reiterate their own commitment to follow Jesus, to regularly attend and serve in a Christian church, and pledge to raise their child in an environment that will be conducive to their child one day making his or her own decision to become a disciple of Jesus.
During the ceremony the child and parents will receive prayer from Global Village Vineyard pastors and leaders for the Lord’s hand of blessing to be on them and that the Holy Spirit will be at work in their lives.
Missional Community
Missional Community Groups are at the heart of community at Global Village Vineyard Church. We believe life is best lived in circles, not rows. Throughout our church’s history, the primary way we’ve expressed our faith is in people’s homes throughout the community. These groups are where we live out our Christian lives─engaging with Scripture, worshiping, serving with our gifts, and living in community. This is where our church family is really discipled.
Fill out our Missional Community form and someone will reach out and help you find the right group for you.
Serving Our Church & Our Community
Church happens every day of the week. Thanks to the many available opportunities for our members to get involved, there is something that suits everyone’s calling.
