Vineyard Church of Guilford is part of the Association of Vineyard Churches, a growing denomination that now includes nearly 850 churches in 47 countries ( from Katmandu, Nepal to Berne, Switzerland ) including over 500 churches in the U.S. ( from Cambridge, Mass. to Palo Alto, California ). The Vineyard story is about ordinary people ( i.e., those who still mess up quite a bit ) who serve an extraordinary God. And we are simply one thread in the rich tapestry of the historic and global Christian faith. More simply put, from Catholics to Baptists, we are all part of God's very big, very diverse Church. The first Vineyard began inauspiciously in 1974 as a young man named Kenn Gulliksen led a small group of discouraged Christians in the Los Angeles area. Those first meetings included a lot of singing and praying to God in an attempt to experience Him as a living, life-changing friend and not just as a theory - which had been the experience of all too many in the group. Their little fellowship, many of whom were artists, musicians and actors, grew quickly as people got wind of the fresh things God seemed to be doing in their meetings. When praying about what name to call themselves, they felt drawn to a passage in the Bible - Isaiah chapter 27, verse 3, in which Isaiah quotes God as saying "Sing about a fruitful vineyard ; I, the Lord, watch over it ; I water in continually..." and the name Vineyard Christian Fellowship was born.

HistoryWe started public services in 1995 with several couples and families to start a new congregation in Guilford that would soon become a Vineyard church. In November of 2017 our former pastor felt a calling on his life to move into a different aspect of vocation and ministry, and in March of 2018, we welcomed Chris & Tanya Syvertsen as our new pastoral team. Chris Syvertsen has been part of various shoreline churches over the past 35 years serving in numerous roles as Youth Leader, Deacon, Treasurer, Elder, Associate Pastor, and Lead Pastor. Chris has a passion for reaching into the community and presenting the Gospel message in a fresh and enjoyable way to those who do not yet have a relationship with Jesus as Savior. Together with his wife Tanya, they try to live out their faith and inject their fun and bright personality into every aspect of ministry.SpecialtiesUltimately, we're all just trying to learn to live and love well in the context of becoming a community - but a wide community with a mission to be a living bridge between God and people of all backgrounds. That includes those who, after some discouraging experiences, have given up on faith and/or the Church at large.
