Our Family Values
At Church in the Vine, everything we believe flows from relationship with the Father and alignment with His Word. We are a family built on worship, prayer, and love—pursuing His presence above all else. Our values shape how we live, serve, and walk together as His people. They call us to unity, humility, and faithfulness as we build His Kingdom locally and globally.
Saved into a Family
Salvation is not only from sin, but into a family God is forming on the earth. We are sons and daughters, learning to live as His household.
One Head, One Body
Jesus is the Head, and we are His Body. We are joined together by the Holy Spirit to reveal Christ on the earth. We do not act independently, but in unity with one another.
Surrendered to the Conductor
Like an orchestra led by a single conductor, we surrender our rights, gifts, and personal agendas to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Our harmony releases His glory.
Walking as Family
This is not a collection of individuals but a corporate walk—a reformation of the Church as one body, joined and held together in love.
Love That Does Not Quit
We will always love God and love one another. Even through pain, misunderstanding, or conflict, we refuse to walk away. Quitting is not an option.
Hearing and Obeying Together
We lay down our personal agendas to listen and obey the Holy Spirit. We will not act for God—we will wait until He speaks, then obey together.
Oneness is Not Optional
Unity is a necessity for authority in the Kingdom. We pursue oneness of heart and spirit until the world can look at the Church and see Jesus.
A Resting Place for His Glory
We are building a home where His presence can dwell and never leave again—a resting place for His glory on the earth.
Whatever It Takes, Until His Glory Comes
We will do whatever He asks, until His presence rests fully among us. Our cry is the same as David’s: “I will not rest until I find a dwelling place for the Lord.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What time are your services?
We gather every Sunday at 10:00 AM for our main service, Tuesdays at 7:00 PM for Revival Prayer, and Fridays at 10:00 AM for Kingdom Sessions. Each gathering has its own focus, but all are centered on worship, family, and encountering the presence of God.
Where are you located?
You can find us at 12345 149 Street NW, Edmonton. There’s plenty of parking, and our team will be happy to welcome you and help you get settled when you arrive.
Is there a children’s program or nursery available?
Yes! We have a full Kids Church for children ages 4–12 where they are taught, equipped, and engaged in their own time of worship and learning. For parents with little ones, we also provide a nursery space for mothers and children ages three and under.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever makes you comfortable. Some people come dressed up, others in jeans and a T-shirt. We value modesty but never want clothing to be what keeps someone from coming to church. Even our pastors keep it relaxed.
How long do your services normally last?
Our gatherings are led by the Holy Spirit, so exact times can vary. Typically, Sunday services last about two hours. We don’t rush what God is doing, but we do value your time and flow with grace and order.
How do you make sure the kids are safe?
Your children’s safety is a priority for us. All of our kids’ ministry volunteers are trained and screened, and our check-in process ensures every child is accounted for. We maintain secure, supervised environments so parents can worship with peace of mind.
Are services translated into different languages?
Yes! We have live sermon translation via headphones.
Simply talk to our connect team and let them know what language you would like to listen to the sermon in and they take it from there. They can even provide a pair of earbuds if you don’t have your own.
*Live translating is only for the sermon and not for the music*
