Join us on Sunday online at 10am and 4.30pm

This Sunday was mean’t to be the relaunch of services at Vine Church. But given we are seeing COVID cases growing in Sydney, with some local hotspots (thank you Harpoon Harry!) we’ve decided to postpone the relaunch to Sunday 16 August.

Watch the announcement here

This is disappointing for us all. I hope you feel the loss.

Christ bled and died to overcome the way sin scatters us into seperate tribes and isolates us as self willed people. He died to bring us to God and to remove the hostility between nations, families and neighbours. Every time we gather, we proclaim the miracle of what Jesus has done in bringing us together....

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Cant Lose (New Series)

Posted: 23 July 2020

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose is the signature rallying cry of coach Eric Taylor's high school football team in the TV series Friday Night Lights. Coach Taylor draws in these wayward young men and gives them a vision for what they could be (clear eyes), loyalty to their teammates (full hearts), and an undying confidence that whatever the scoreboard says right now, they will win in the end (can't lose). 

Every Christian on team Jesus has the same motto, and it's the work of the Holy Spirit who helps us play the game before us. 

The Holy Spirit gives us clear eyes to see what truly matters in life. 
He gives us full hearts that are passionate for Jesus and teammates. ...Continue Reading

New series – trusting God in troubled times

Posted: 26 April 2020

We are living in a moment of unprecedented uncertainty, and we’ve been confronted with the fact that our jobs, our investments, our health, our families, our nation, even our way of life is insecure and fragile.

Our world is reeling from events beyond our control and we find ourselves vulnerable to the spread of disease, the decline in financial markets, instability in employment, and the decisions of our leaders and our neighbours. We are experiencing massive impact on our lives, our health, our work and our leisure.

Where is God in all this and what is he saying to a world during troubled times?

The prophet Habakkuk in the Bible speaks to his nation in the midst of their...

Covid Care Fund

Posted: 17 April 2020

This season of uncertainty is likely to continue as the economic impact of Covid–19 grows. We know of many people already that have been stood down, made redundant or had their hours cut significantly. Many families with kids are cut off from family support and childcare, and many of our 4.30pm congregation are significantly impacted by the cuts experienced in part time and casual jobs. Through all of this, God is still sovereign and loves us immensely. 

Giving to the Covid Care Fund

This week we have been able to open the 'Covid Care Fund' through the Vine Church foundation. This is tax deductible to give towards, and will be administered by Kate Stace (our Director of...

Join us this Easter!

Posted: 02 April 2020

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

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.
