About
Vision & Mission
What we believe and how we live it out as a Vineyard church in Bridgton, Maine: loving God, loving people, and creating good.
Our Mission
We are a community where people connect with Jesus, grow whole in the power of the Holy Spirit, and bring the love and resources of God to the towns and neighborhoods around us.
"Only Bible and we dry up; only Spirit and we blow up; but Word and Spirit, we grow up." — John Wimber
Our Vision
We give ourselves to nurturing a community of people in the Lake Region. Together, we choose a way of life so that Christ may be formed in us. As we follow the way of Jesus, loving God, loving people, and creating good, we grow into people who can love an enemy, who do not grow alone, and who join God in bringing His kingdom to the towns we call home.
How We Live This Out
Love God
Loving God means giving Him our hearts, our trust, and our attention. We want to grow as a community where God is not an idea we agree with, but the One we trust with our whole lives.
Love People
Jesus taught that loving others is inseparable from loving God. We grow in faith not only by what we believe, but by how we treat one another. We want to see people held through both the happiest and hardest seasons of their lives by a community that shows up.
Create Good
Our faith is meant to be visible. That means caring for those who are hurting, struggling, or overlooked. We aspire to be salt and light in our community and to be changed ourselves as we take up the servant’s role that Jesus calls us to.
