Welcome to Vine
House Churches!
We are glad you stopped by. We hope you will find this site useful
in learning more about Vine House Churches and the possibility of
making Vine your new church home in the Inland Empire. We currently have five location locally as well as a number of Simple Churches started in the Amazon Rain Forest of Brazil, and in villages in Liberia, West Africa.
There's a
Church in the Home!
Many people are looking for a church experience that focuses on
relationships and authenticity in their Christian walk. In the book
"The Connecting Church ", the author recognizes the need
for a deeper, more relational Christianity, "beyond small groups
to authentic Christianity. A new structure is beginning to emerge
in the form of small relational "house churches. " This
model for church has always interested me and it has always been
the desire of my heart to see a church model more closely resembling
the pattern seen in the book of Acts.
As a pastor for over 36 years I have come to realize that the Church is people in relationship to God and to each other practicing the "one anothers" of scripture. As you search for your own personal understanding of what the Church is may I suggest that you consider the simple church/house church concept.
God Bless You,
Bob Erickson
