Join us this Easter!

Posted: 02 April 2020

Jesus shocked the world when he died and came back to life three days later. 

He was God himself who traded his life for our freedom from death and sin. Today, we can break free from fear and guilt because Jesus went from death to life. 

Whether you come to church or haven't been in years, we'd love to invite you to celebrate Easter online with us! In uncertain times, Jesus offers rock solid hope because of what happened that first Easter. In uncertain and anxious times, we'd love to welcome you into our community and share with you how Jesus offers hope beyond the grave. If you have never stepped through our doors, joining us on online is a great way to experience church for...

Gather Together – Update on Covid19

Posted: 17 March 2020

We live in unprecedented times! As health updates and information has changed, the staff team have met to discuss options for us as a church. We are committed to caring for the vulnerable, and this has led us to make difficult decisions.

Onboard

At Vine Church, we want to help you find a church home with us. We want you to have a sense of belonging and community, and to know what we're on about! 

Onboard is a great place to find out about our church, what we believe, meet some of the team and other new people. We’re excited about where we are heading as a church, and we want to share with you the key purposes behind our church and the Christian life as we aim to reach Surry Hills with the life, love and freedom that Jesus offer. 

Onboard runs monthly in a relaxed and informal setting on a Sunday. After Onboard there will be an opportunity to join a community group and start serving. We'd love you to come along!

The Road Trip That Changed The World

Posted: 08 January 2020

The Road Trip That Changed The World 

The social commentator, Mark Sayers, describes contemporary life as a road trip ‘offering the tantalizing possibility of freedom.’

The horizon invites us forward, its hidden promise urging us to accelerate into the future. Behind us our pasts and our pains mingle with the exhaust fumes and evaporate into the cooling night air… Yet the thrill of speed and the romance of the open road before us cannot mask the truth that we are lost. We have no map... and we are not sure where we are going.

But our dream is a destination-less dream. We drive into the unknown know not where we are going. We are promised freedom, but experience anxiety and...
