“Bringing God’s kingdom to young people”
As a church we place a very high value on ministry to families. Children and teens are a special gift from God, and we believe that he views these earlier years as very important and formative.
We have assembled a team of pastors, leaders and teachers who are committed to this cause of helping to bring young people into a loving relationship with Jesus.
It is also our desire, as we minister to young people, that we bring them in touch with the destiny and plans that God has created for them. We believe that the Lord wants to raise up a generation of disciples who will follow him with all their hearts, and who will stand up for truth and righteousness in this dark world. God desires to equip them for this task, so that they can become the pastors, teachers, evangelists, prophets and parents of tomorrow.
Becoming Worshipers: Training young people to become worshipers of God is one of our highest priorities. Each Sunday for children, and Thursday for teens, a time of worship, celebration, and ministry is provided that is specifically geared to their age group.
Community: It is also important that young people come together with their own peers to share their faith and experiences with one another. We are committed to helping young people learn to experience and develop healthy relationships with others.
Teen Programs
“The SWITCH” teens (grades 7-12) meet Thursday nights at 7:30pm at our Rockville Centre campus for a time of worship, bible study, prayer and fun, all while learning to serve each other and the community.
Children’s Programs
Vineyard Kidz is a children’s ministry dedicated to bringing the kingdom of God to children. Our goal, in partnership with parents, is for our children to come to know and grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Kidz classes are held during all Sunday services at both campuses. The check in kiosk is located on the first floor of each campus.
These ministries are staffed by volunteers in good standing in the Vineyard Church. All have had background checks that are renewed on an annual basis.
If you have a heart for children/teens and would like to serve in either of these very important ministries please email Ray Longwood at office@thevineyarchurch.com
