Vineyard Community Church

I quit church for almost 30 years. But when I went there I felt welcomed and not preached at. The pastor is phenomenal. All the people there are very nice and it is my church

Been a member for eight years. Enjoy the tight-knit community. People know one another and prove it through more than words. The pastor also takes the time to get to know everyone. I deeply appreciate that I don't have to be perfect and polished with flawless faith to be a valued part of this community.

I’ve been attending this church for about 2 years now. We found it after a pretty extensive church hopping when we first moved to St. Louis. We stayed because of the real and relational aspect. It never feels forced or fake and people are encouraged to be right where they are in their walk with God. Small groups have also been a huge part of our lives since we started coming. The music is semi-contemporary and the sermons are relevant and well delivered. You are greeted the moment you walk in and they try really hard not to let you fall off their radar. I’m not saying it’s perfect, every church has their growing pains, but I still wouldn’t change it for the world. We love this church and everyone in it!

I didn't know what I was searching for until I found this church family. Everyone is so real! I've been attending regularly for 7 years and have yet to encounter any hypocracy. True, we are all sinners. Instead, I've witnessed a community of people who support and when necessary will guide a person in the truths of their situation, so (when they are ready) they may make a choice to grow in health. This is a safe place to ask for prayer for those things that can weigh heavily on each of us. There is no judgement.
If your idea of a satisfying church service is to be 'preached at', this is not the place for you. We are taught God's word and works through scripture, worship, testimonials and sometimes through shared raw experience. After and between services, our members will often visit for 45 minutes or more, just because we can. This is a great time for newbies to meet a few people, ask questions and get a feel for the lay of the land. Visitors are not singled out and we are happy to answer any questions, because we've all been there. I encourage you to give us a couple of visits and to check out our website.
