VCF Story The people who formed Christian Fellowship Church ( now Vineyard Christian Fellowship ) began to meet together in 1978. Their desire was to have a church where the Bible was taught, where the Holy Spirit was given freedom to minister, where the worship was directed to God, and where loving one another was central to community life. The church adopted the slogan "Where the Spirit is, There is Love". To this day, the church holds it to be essential that its members seek to fulfill Jesus' commandment "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another ; as I have loved you, that you also love one another." ( John 13: 34 ). The church was incorporated July 18, 1978. The founding elders were Fred Brewster, Phil Heminger, Phil Pollard, and Charles Stott. Charles Stott served as the first fill time pastor until his death in 1980. In September of 1980, the church called Chuck Temple to serve as pastor, and he continues to serve in that position at this time. Until early 1990, the church met in rented facilities. Sunday worship services here held primarily in Western School. The church purchased the present property in 1985. Construction began on the original 8750 square foot worship center in spring of 1988. The first service was held in the new building on the last Sunday of February, 1990. The fellowship hall addition was completed and dedicated in July of 2002. At present, the worship center is a 16, 020 square foot facility fully dedicated to God's glory. God has supplied through His people the full costs of land and buildings, which now totals $722, 740.00. From our inception, the church has been concerned about reaching those outside of Christ with the gospel, both locally and throughout the world. In 1979 the church agreed to send the first $1000 from its Building Fund to help complete the construction of a church building in India. Since 1981, VCF has designated 10% of all tithes and offerings for the purpose of missions funding. This amount plus designated giving through yearly World Outreach Conferences and Faith Goal contributions, has made it possible for the church to participate in helping influence others with the gospel in many places. The church is grateful to have been used of God to supply over $470, 600 to mission efforts during its first 25 years of ministry.
