FASTING & PRAYER

As the Vineyard of Southwest Pittsburgh, we started out in the same vein as our founding Vineyard of Anaheim, CA. Our small group met in a home in Bridgeville. Having left a large church for reasons of conscience, we attended other churches on Sunday mornings, but still felt drawn to each other on Sunday nights.

Our Sunday night meetings grew in number and soon we were able to meet on Sunday mornings. After a period of time, we decided we wanted to be a church in our own right. After searching out different organizations (i.e., Assemblies of God, Holiness, Pentecostal and even the American Baptists), we found ourselves still not comfortable with any group. Someone suggested we look at the Vineyard. We sent out couples to the Wheeling and Monroeville Vineyards. Both couples reported back that this may be the direction we wanted to go. We met with the Vineyard Regional Director, who was also the Pastor at Wheeling. It was after that meeting, we decided the Vineyard was the place we wanted to be a part of if they would have us.

After meeting in Columbus and Wheeling, we became a Vineyard Church Plant in 1997. After a year and a half, we were released as an official Vineyard Christian Fellowship and were incorporated as a non-profit organization in Januay 1999.
