Join the Discussion

We are entering a major transitional time as a church at the Atlanta Vineyard. In light of that reality, we want to invite all of you join a broader dialog in which you can voice questions, insights and feedback. That could be in response to a sermon, a class, someone else's comments or whatever else is on your heart. 

We have a deep conviction that the Spirit of God speaks to and through his people for the building up of the whole body. This is intended to create a context where you can express what God is doing in your own heart for the benefit of the church family. Obviously, we expect that as we engage in an open, on-going discussion about what God is doing among us as a people, that each of us will do so with humility and respect for each other. With that sole parameter, we invite you tell us what you are thinking, how you are feeling and most importantly, what God is saying to you. 

Our prayer is that we will all be more in touch with the activity of God among us and that we will learn how to better serve each other and Jesus, for God's glory and our good.

  1. Today, I pray that the Lord guides our leadership to the right knowledge and that He will give them wisdom. It's really too late by man's timetable to change what is. But God's economy and timetable is not limited by present circumstances and lack of any kind. He can change everything in the twinkling of an eye. He cares more about the people in our church; much more than we do. He cares that we have a visible witness to the world and will place us wherever that is. He can give us the finances to buy our present building at any time.

    We look and we see the end looming with only a few days to make something miraculous happen. He looks and He sees only opportunity with eternity spread out before our feet.

    Let's keep praying, expecting God to act in ways that will amaze us!

There is integrity on every turn and in every department. Our volunteers are amazing. You can feel the love at AVC.
