Throughout this season we’re gathering on Sundays at 10.30am, enjoying a relaxed time of eating brunch together. We believe the human heart flourishes best in community which is why we’re hosting brunches as part of our ‘pre-launch gatherings’.

There’s something about sharing a meal with one another that brings people together and naturally builds and deepens relationships. The smell of fresh coffee brewing, laughter and life together. Our brunches are beautiful spaces of hospitality where we make room to see strangers become friends as stories are shared and all the while good food is enjoyed. At our Sunday brunches you’ll hear more of the vision, connect with amazing people, and build for the future. This is the first stage of establishing Northwest Vineyard, and we jsut can’t wait for more.

So, come as you are and bring whoever you want, bring your kids along too if you have any, we’ve got a special area just for them to hang out and have some fun.

We love meeting new people and we'd love to meet you. We’d love to host your for brunch!

- We’ll also make space on other occasions for Team Gatherings to pray, dream and make plans for our launch.

- There’s also other fun-filled adventures and events threaded throughout where community, connection, and friendships are formed as we build for the future.

Over the next several months, we’re focusing on gathering a beautiful, healthy community to bring this vision to life. We want to connect people with our story and together we’ll walk in this journey. We’re in anticipation for meeting people, for people coming alive, and something special forming here. We believe God’s inviting us into the new and we’re getting ready to step into it together.

There's a saying that goes like this "If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.” We want to go together and we’d love to build this community with you. What better time to get involved than our pre-launch season. Take the step and see if this is the place for you! info@northwestvineyard.org.nz

Our desire is to launch mid 2025.

Absolutely! We love meeting new, little (and not so little) friends. At Northwest Vineyard we LOVE kids and young people, we value them and believe they’re an important part of who we are. We believe they’re the future, now.

We can’t wait to meet your family and walk this journey together!

Vineyard churches embrace a form of episcopal church government, along with the majority of Christian churches today.

Vineyard churches are charitable trusts registered with the Justice Department, and are legally autonomous. The board is made up of team members, Lead Pastors and external people. The board undertake and fulfil all the legal requirements for the Trust, and who make decisions regarding all the churches legal, financial and business matters within Northwest Vineyard. Matters relating to the spiritual life of the church are entrusted to the leadership team. The Lead Pastors are accountable to the board.

Our ultimate authority for living out our faith is found in scripture, we believe that the bible is the Inspired living word of God. For us, the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed are two early confessions of faith that sum up our beliefs. What we believe about Jesus returning has a massive impact on the way we live now. It affects our priorities, our relationships, what we do with our time and resources, and how we engage with our environment. We are a church plant wanting to partner with God in what He’s doing right now, and play our part in His restoration of all things.

Foundationally, at Northwest Vineyard, we align ourselves completely with the Vineyard Statement of Faith which you can read here - vineyard.org.nz/our-vision-and-values
