Our Story.
We started as a small group.
The Falkirk Vineyard story is about ordinary people, who love to worship and serve an extraordinary God.
Falkirk Vineyard began life as a small group, as part of the Edinburgh City Vineyard (ECV). There were a significant number of people from this area that were part of the ECV, and we absolutely loved it. This group was the church that we had always longed to be part of.
We planted in Falkirk.
In 2010 God began to challenge and encourage us about planting a church in our home town of Falkirk. He gave us vision for a Vineyard Church in Falkirk so we approached our senior pastor about the prospect of planting in Falkirk. We had no experience of leading a church, just a clear call to share God’s love with our community and town.
We wanted to do church with our friends and neighbours, and we wanted it to be a Vineyard Church for Falkirk – one that reaches the local community and has an impact outside the four walls of the building.
In 2012 we began meeting as a church once a month, whilst continuing to be part of Edinburgh City Vineyard. And in 2014 we were released by ECV to become Falkirk Vineyard Church, starting our weekly services on the 1st June 2014.
On the move.
When we wrote our vision statement at the beginning of our church (‘a church in the community, serving the community, changing one life at a time’), we could not have seen how God would grow and move us as a church to fulfil that vision in the clearest of ways.
We are following the Holy Spirit as He guides us in doing all the works He has prepared for us; serving the community, reaching out and caring for the hurting and broken, seeing the lost get saved, baptising people, discipling them to live for Jesus, and helping them find their place and purpose in God's Kingdom, mindful that “everyone gets to play”.
The story continues.
We want to see God's love and power reaching people all over Falkirk and Central Scotland. God is building an amazing community of people at Falkirk Vineyard and we are expecting God to move through us in even greater ways to change and shape the places we live. We'd love for you to become part of this story - there's a place for everyone.
We are a
Vineyard Church.
