Hope Vineyard is a new church and charity in Oxford Come and join us! We'd love to meet you.

Hope Vineyard is a new church in Oxford loving people, loving God and living authentic lives together inspired by Jesus. We have smaller Life Groups meeting mid-week, and we're engaged in the community throughout the week and run a number of projects, including a children's clothes and equipment bank called 'Small Steps', at Templars Square Shopping Centre (OX4 3XX). Sunday gatherings are each week from 10am:
- Twice a month there is Sunday Service (1st & 3rd Sunday), and
- Twice a month we have Sunday Breakfast (2nd & 4th Sunday). All ages welcome with provision for children each week, and see website for updates.

Loved every moment of Sunday Breakfast last weekend. Real relationships and conversations, a space where all ages and people from many backgrounds can enjoy being together. It felt like home and that's what church is all about 🙌

Can't wait for what God's got planned!

A person's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever (so says The Westminster Shorter Catechism). What we're learning is that when we centre our lives and our attention on God who loves us so much, the beautiful by product is we get to experience a whole lot of joy and delight. That's what happens when we gather on Sundays and there's one just around the corner so why not come and experience that too.

We'd love fpr you to join us

📍9.45am doors open, 10am our service begins.

🍉🥪🥤Every 3rd Sunday (that's this Sunday) we share lunch together after our service. We'd love you to join us so bring something to eat if you can but we always get extra so they'll be plenty of food if you haven't been able to.

Tomorrow is an exciting day as we look at the center point of our series on Awakenings, times when God pours out his Spirit in significant ways and many lives are changed. We're looking at Pentecost and how, as Jesus had promised, the power of God fell on an ordinary group of people who then went out into the streets and beyond sharing the love of God fearlessly.

We believe God can do this again and that he is always willing to give more of his Holy Spirit to anyone who asks. That's what we'll do tomorrow morning.

If you're at all curious about what God's loving and powerful Spirit can do in your life and the lives of those you care about, come along. It doesn't matter who you are or where you've come from, God has gifts for you.

📍Some roads in Oxford are closed for the Half Marathon so we'd suggest you check before coming.

At the start of each month we gather around the table to eat, to share joys as well as struggles and to reflect on an aspect of faith in God and what that might look like in our lives. There is always space and enough food for more to join us and we love to include people who might be new and exploring God.

This is an all age gathering and there is plenty for children and teens to get involved with as well.

Follow the signs and join us in the main dining room (Greyfriars School) at 10am.

Secular and Christian news outlets and various pieces of research and data seem to be pointing to an uptake in interest in spirituality over the last few years, especially amongst younger people. This is borne out in stories coming out of churches across the UK. All of this is set against a backdrop of societal anxiety about the state of our country and world. These are both important and exciting times and as a church we want to be prepared for whatever God might want to do here in Oxford.

Last Sunday we began a new series to help us become more alert to the spiritual climate around us and to develop our hunger for and confidence in God's power to do the 'immeasurably more'. Josh speaks this Sunday on the significance of unity amongst God's people and of prayer in both Biblical and historical examples of spiritual awakenings.

We can't wait to see what God's spirit will do on Sunday morning and we'd love you to join us. There's no better place to be!

If you're new to the city, maybe starting uni or a new job, maybe curious yourself about God or looking for a church family to call home, then we'd love to give you an extra big, warm welcome.

God is stirring hearts in our nation, more hearts than we've seen in many years. We want to be prepared for whatever this new thing looks like here in Oxford so we're beginning a new teaching series called 'waking up'. We'll be exploring spiritual awakenings in history, most notably what has come to be known as Pentecost. What they are, why and how they begin and are sustained and how to position ourselves for God to transform lives with his mercy. It's going to be an exciting time to be at Hope Vineyard over the next few weeks 🙌

We'd love your company so why not join us for our service this Sunday at 10am (doors open at 9.45am). No prior knowledge or experience of God or church is needed. Just come as you are.

You are invited to celebrate our birthday this weekend. It's been 9 years since a handful of people first gathered in a home to seek the Lord about a new church in Oxford and here we still are. Fundamentally this is not about us, what we've done. Sunday will be a celebration of who our God is, the one who changes lives and is better than anything the world can offer us. We want to continue being part of the story he is writing as we look ahead to the next year. So, whoever you are, wherever you're from, whatever you believe why not come and see just how very good God is (and they'll be cake 🍰!)

If you're new to Oxford, a new student, beginning a new job, or you've recently moved here for any other reason, welcome to this great city! We'd love to get to meet you and you'd be so welcome to join us on Sunday.

📍10am Main Hall, Greyfriars School, Cricket Rd, Cowley
📍 During the service there are groups of primary and secondary school aged children. Preschool aged children are very welcome to join our play area in the main hall.

A little insight into Sunday Breakfast a couple of days ago. We are wired for relationships and although they're not always easy it is better to be together and we passionately believe that everyone can have a seat at our table. 😊

If you're new to the area, to church and God, to Hope Vineyard we'd love our company this coming Sunday when we'll be celebrating our church birthday during our service.

Sundays are back after the August break and we're beginning with anticipation for all God might do in this season.

Even more than ever we resonate with the words of Psalm 127:1 'Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it.' We are so hungry to see God's good, beautiful and loving kingdom come in even greater measure in Oxford, yet we know that only the king, God himself, can make that happen. Our resources are finite, his are infinite. Our prayer is 'Come Lord God and do a new thing in this city. We are ready and dependent on you.' Let's go!

If you'd like to join in this adventure we'd love you to join us, the start of a new academic year being a great time to begin. We're a bunch of very ordinary people who've become captivated by God's heart for us and for the world, trying to faithfully follow where he leads. When you boil it down it's that simple really.

We'll be at Greyfriars School, Cricket Rd, Cowley from 10am this Sunday for our big, free monthly breakfast with plenty of opportunity to share stories, our lives and meet with our living, loving God. If you'd like a chat before you come along DM or drop us a message at [email protected]
