....................................................................

We recognise God is calling us to a movement in Greenwich that shows his love and compassion in creative ways. We're learning what it means to follow Christ, seeing our faith grow in Jesus as we listen to those who've got needs in our community.

So imagine what would happen if we started to love people the way Jesus called us to, joining together to see our neighbourhoods transformed.

....................................................................

As we seek to live this out, here are some of the things that transorm us, compelling us to act:

CREATIVITY
The Kingdom of God is a creative place. We see around us the artwork of God and we believe that He made us as image bearers, reflecting His beauty into the world. So we're learning to take part in and explore the creative abilities we were designed with, allowing God to write in our lives as a love letter to the world. Through this we're discovering how to demonstrate his love to people in meaningful and expressive ways.

ROOTS*
We recognise ourselves to be in a long line of generations taking part in the endless conversation between God and people. We believe the Bible to be the lives of many who've come before us, inspired by God to pass along their poems, stories, accounts, and letters of response and relationship with each other and the living God. To know where we’re going, we have to know where we’ve been.

JOURNEY*
We started Greenwich Vineyard because we wanted to ask the question: “What does it look like for us to be the church here and now?” We are constantly exploring new and creative ways to live out and communicate the teachings of Jesus. Because we see faith as a journey, our basic assumption is we'll be surrounded by change, innovation and growth.

WHOLENESS*
We believe that God wants to redeem every part of us, and that Jesus’ message of salvation is holistic in nature. We believe that all of life is spiritual life, and that all of our fears, failures, and broken hearts can be restored and made whole. We value the inner journey, because we want to be fully integrated people - mind, body, and soul, emotions and experiences all offered together to God.

COMMUNITY*
We believe that we were created to live deeply with one another, to carry each other’s burdens and share what we have, to pray for and confess our sins to each other, to suffer and celebrate together. It’s in these sacred relationships and honest, loving communities that God transforms us. We recognise that the way of Jesus cannot be lived alone.

SERVING*
Jesus calls His church to be a compelling force for good in the world. God uses people as agents of change, to relieve suffering and fight injustice, living out the transforming message of the resurrected Jesus. At Greenwich Vineyard, we believe that the church is at its best when it serves, sacrifices, and loves, caring about the things God cares about. We're becoming more and more aware of how we were created to live for something larger than ourselves.

CELEBRATION*
We believe that the world God created is good, that He creates people in His image, and that no amount of darkness can erase that divine imprint. Because we believe that all of life is sacred, we look for God’s fingerprints everywhere. We seek to celebrate the divine in the daily, pursuing lives of hope, gratitude, generosity and worship. God invites everyone everywhere into this way of life, and we believe it is the best possible way to live.


*These words aren't even our own, yet we find unity with them. We're grateful to those we can learn from in the body of the church movement, the people we draw inspiration from and who continue to challenge us to pursue the call of God in our lives. Check out Mars Hill Bible Church for more.
