Evanston Vineyard

Our fifth value is doing restorative justice. We believe our church exists to partner with God to “restore” his intention for his good creation. Why is justice so important? What role do we play?

We believe that every person’s highest good is to become like Jesus. This sits at the core of our identity. This week, we answer the questions “Why is this so important to us?” and “How do we do it?”

This week, we explore our second congregational value, arguably the most important defining value of the Vineyard movement of churches. Acts 2 anchors this key distinctive.

This week we begin a new series on our congregational values. Our first value comes straight from the apocalyptic letter of Revelation: Worshipping the True and Beautiful God.

Jesus lived a radically simple life marked by few possessions and dependence on God, and His followers imitated him with abundant generosity for one another. What could it look like to practice this sort of simplicity and generosity in 21st-century America?

Devotional prayer is a well-known but often taken-for-granted practice of the Christian life. Why is a life of devotional prayer important, and how does it affect us? What might a private prayer life look like?

Jesus practiced radical hospitality and welcome toward strangers and people in need. We can follow His lead today by being people who open our homes and hearts to others.

Jesus was led by the Spirit to pray for people. We should too. Prayer is a gift that we give freely to anyone and anywhere.

In a culture that idolizes success and security, we are pressured to endlessly produce and desire more. How do we find rest in having and in being enough? What does God have to say about this?
