 At the Vineyard
Christian Fellowship of Greater
Portland we are committed to being
the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
We believe
in providing help to those in need
within the body of Christ, the local
community and those experiencing
extreme hardship around the
world. The Vineyard leadership
believes that everyone has something
to offer and a part to play. We
encourage members to participate in
a ministry area that they are
passionate about and can commit
their time, energy and gifts.
We feel the heart of God is revealed
to us in James 1:27a, paraphrased by
Eugene Peterson: "Real religion, the
kind that passes muster before God
the Father, is this: Reach out to
the homeless and loveless in their
plight" |

COMING SOON!!
Keep
yours eyes and ears open!
During the first quarter ’08 we are
going to be starting an
“Item of the
month club”! We will have a
collection box in the lobby so
everyone can be involved each week
by dropping off requested items. We
want everyone to have the
opportunity to be blessed by helping
others.
We invite you to check us out and be blessed
by serving others through the Mercy
Ministry at Vineyard Christian
Fellowship. It is our passionate
desire to make Christ’s love a
reality to those to whom we
minister. |
