Who is San Tan Vineyard Church?
To answer who we are is easy, really. Simply put, San Tan Vineyard church is you! We are people living regular lives, like you. Moms, dads, sons, and daughters. We come from all walks of life: students, clerks, computer programmers, business owners, home makers, single parents, married couples, singles, babies and grandparents.
But more than what we do is who we are. We are seekers of God, learning to be people who follow Jesus by loving Him and each other. We don't have it all figured out, but we believe if we follow Him and help each other, we can learn.
We'd love to get a chance to meet you and find out who you are. We know we aren't all we can be simply because you aren't here yet! We think each person is uniquely gifted to contribute to what Jesus wants to do with our gatherings and in our community.
Purpose & Vision
Purpose: Love God! Love others!
Vision: We want to be like Jesus, do what he did and say what he said - Jesus is our model! We want to learn to live our lives through Jesus totally loved by the Father and empowered by the Holy Spirit, to live a life of love.
Context: The context or the story we find ourselves in is paramount to how we see ourselves, others, and God. Seeing rightly is essential to loving rightly; therefore knowing God and His story is central to an abundant life of love.
