Vineyard Christian Fellowship

The people who formed Christian Fellowship Church (now Vineyard Christian Fellowship) began to meet together in 1978. Their desire was to have a church where the Bible was taught, where the Holy Spirit was given freedom to minister, where the worship was directed to God, and where loving one another was central to community life. The church adopted the slogan “Where the Spirit is, There is Love”. To this day, the church seeks to fulfill Jesus’ command in John 13:34: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” Our Mission Statement is: “Helping people know, love and obey Jesus Christ.” (January 2023)

Mozilla Open Badges

A digital badge is an online representation of a skill you’ve earned. Open Badges take that concept one step further, and allows you to verify your skills, interests and achievements through credible organizations. And because the system is based on an open standard, you can combine multiple badges from different issuers to tell the complete story of your achievements — both online and off. Display your badges wherever you want them on the web, and share them for employment, education or lifelong learning.
