At Vineyard Cincinnati Church, we believe

YOU ARE MADE FOR MORE.

More life in Jesus.
More love for others.
More purpose in the world.

As we reflect on 2025 and our 40th anniversary as a church, we're celebrating the ways God has moved in and through VCC to make a real impact — here in our community, and beyond.

In 2025, we moved boldly into a season of growth—taking meaningful steps as a church family to follow Jesus, love others well, and live on mission in our city and beyond. We’re excited to share what your generosity made possible.

WE SEEK TO:

Live And Love Like Jesus, Walk By His Spirit,
and Help Others Do The Same.

Our clear values provide the foundation for us to continue the work God has called us to.

"Two years ago, I came to VCC during a dark period in my life, feeling distant from God.

The pastors were kind and welcoming, never judging me for my struggles. They showed grace and reminded me of God’s love and that He wouldn’t give up on me.

Two years later, God has pulled me out of that dark place and blessed me in many ways. I now have amazing friends and can’t imagine life without them." — C.H.

// Generosity

God is forming us into people with open hands—and steady hearts.

In 2025, hundreds of people took real steps toward biblical generosity, not just through giving, but through learning, growing, and practicing stewardship as a way of life. 

This year:

  • Our Budget Coaches connected with 75+ people.
  • Financial Planning Ministry hosted four seminars for 100+ individuals.

You can learn more about upcoming opportunities by visiting our Financial Discipleship Page. Here’s an incredible testimony that came from one of our JOG participants:

A Heart That Reflects Jesus

Your desire to grow, learn, and live generously is evidence of God’s work in our church family. Thank you for investing your time, wisdom, and resources to fuel the mission of Vineyard Cincinnati, strengthen the Healing Center, and extend hope to our global partners—including Jos, Nigeria.

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” — Acts 20:35

Church Planting

Church Planting

Because you gave, we were able to help launch two church plants, now serving 200+ people in Monroe and Westwood, creating more spaces for people to meet Jesus, grow in community, and live on mission.

Vineyard Monroe

Vineyard Monroe Church launched in September 2025 as a new church community in Monroe—creating space for people to connect with God, find their people, and live out faith in everyday life. 

Led by Brandon and Christina Lute, Vineyard Monroe is already gathering weekly and inviting Monroe to encounter the love and presence of God in a way that’s honest, grounded, and life-giving.

// Ministry of Holy Spirit

When we believe that Jesus is our Lord and Savior, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit who empowers us to operate in the gifts of the Spirit and do what Jesus did.

Our mission is to equip the saints in the work of naturally supernatural ministry. We aim to see more people empowered by the Holy Spirit, more people operating in their spiritual gifts, and more people walking in their destiny!

// Biblical Unity

Biblical Unity is one of our core values because we believe God’s glory and beauty is displayed through a church that is ethnically and culturally diverse — one body, made up of many parts.

Unity takes more than good intentions. It’s a holy, Spirit-led commitment to honor and value people of every nation, tribe, and language.

Over the last year, we’ve had groups, classes and events that help unify our community, including:

  • Hispanic Heritage Celebration
  • Black History Celebration
  • Biblical Unity Core Team

  • Unity Workshop
  • Better Together Community Potluck
