Our vision is to be an authentic community of Jesus-followers who live out His message and the truth of the Bible so fully that others encounter the love and mercy of God through us. To put it simply, we want to: Worship God, love people, make Kingdom disciples, and partner with the Holy Spirit to transform our city.
Our mission is to teach anyone who commits to following Jesus how to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and love like Jesus in every aspect of life. As Kingdom people, we live out our faith by:
• Partnering with the Holy Spirit
• Experiencing and worshiping God
• Reconciling people with God and all creation
• Engaging in compassionate ministry
• Pursuing culturally relevant mission in the world
OUR PRIORITIES
At Vineyard Fullerton, our priorities and values guide not just what we do but how we do it. Rooted in the Bible, God’s Word, these priorities shape how we invest our time, energy, and resources. We aim to live them out so naturally that they become second nature—like the back of our hands.
WORSHIP
The highest priority of God’s people is to worship Him—surrendering all that we are to give Him what is rightfully His. Worship is our heartfelt response to knowing and experiencing God.
At Vineyard Fullerton, we believe worship is more than singing a few songs during a service; it’s a way of life. Whether gathered together in intimate worship or living out our faith daily, we aim to honor God at all times and in all things.
Our heart is to create opportunities for everyone to worship, to train and encourage people to engage with God deeply, and to inspire worship as a natural part of every aspect of life.
MINISTRY & DISCIPLESHIP
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we minister to others with hearts filled with Christ’s mercy and compassion, continuing the ministry of Jesus.
The Bible calls us to a radical commitment called discipleship—an unconditional surrender of our whole lives to Christ. This surrender isn’t about legalism, impressing others, or passing judgment. Instead, it flows from a heart of love and gratitude to God, who first loved us and gave Himself for us.
We believe God designed us to follow Him in community, not in isolation. That’s why small groups are central at Vineyard—they provide the relationships that help us grow and walk this journey together.
MISSION
We are committed to reaching out to the Fullerton community with Christ’s love, offering compassionate expressions of His freedom and life. Our goal is to impact our neighborhoods, helping people experience the transformative power of the gospel.
As we follow Jesus together, our focus remains outward—building connections that lead people to God and draw them into His community.
OUR VALUES
Every house is built upon a foundation. Vineyard Fullerton is built upon the foundation of the Bible, our theology (how we think about God), and our values—the guiding ideas and attitudes that shape who we are.
Values define what a church feels like—the atmosphere, ethos, and culture. Two churches may share the same doctrine, but their values create distinct environments. Here are the key values that shape Vineyard Fullerton:
Here is an overview of our key values at Vineyard Fullerton:
We value relationship with God and with one another. We believe the church is not just a collection of individuals, but a community committed to following Jesus together. God values people of all races, ages, genders, and backgrounds, and He has called us to live as a diverse, united church. Discipleship happens in the context of relationships, not in isolation.
We value responsiveness. We recognize that Jesus is our Head and the Holy Spirit is our Counselor. The church belongs to God, and we seek to be responsive to the Holy Spirit’s leading in every area of our church life and personal lives.
We value righteousness. We strive for truthful, consistent, and open relationships—with God, others, and ourselves. We know that none of us are righteous on our own, but as we submit to God, the Holy Spirit transforms us to be more like Christ, living lives of integrity that align with what we believe.
We value reality & authenticity. We seek to express ourselves naturally and authentically, in speech, music, and the way we live. We want to present the simple truth of Jesus and experience His presence in real, tangible ways.
We value relevance. We aim to connect with our community in meaningful ways, using music, language, and outreach methods that are in tune with our culture. We desire to be practical and understandable to those seeking God in our midst.
