A FREE CHURCH, CARING LEADERS
True Vine is a free church, pursuing congregational polity and prayerfully managed by a church council that answers to the Lord and the local congregation. Our pastor is considered a servant-leader who makes disciples alongside of us. We believe local churches are the best form of the kingdom of God on earth and are cautious of synods, bishops, and committees that view themselves as above the congregation. We seek to work side by side with other Gospel-centered and evangelism-minded local churches. We affiliate with the AFLC (See www.aflc.org) and also work with Celebrate Recovery (www.celebraterecovery.com) and our pastor is involved with the Lutheran Evangelistic Movement (www.lemdeeperlife.org.). Our pastor is also involved with global discipleship initiative (www.theglobaldiscipleshipinitiative.org).
