Welcome to the Vineyard in Des Moines! We are one of around 600 Vineyard churches in the United States and more than 1000 worldwide.

At the Vineyard, we who call ourselves Jesus’ followers have an earnest desire to partner with the Holy Spirit in continuing Christ’s mission in the Greater Des Moines area. We are a diverse community of believers who take our faith seriously. We are hungry to know God and experience his truth, love and power in our lives, but we also want our church life to reflect a casual, relaxed style, free from religious hype. We feel comfortable worshiping in casual clothes or dressed up clothes, to contemporary music, maybe even drinking a cup of good coffee during our church services. We want to share our faith by what we say and what we do.

We want our kids to experience the joy of obeying and serving God themselves. We desire to see our friends, neighborhoods, and cities impacted by the Kingdom of God as the lost hear and believe the Gospel, the poor are fed and clothed, the sick are healed, and the addicted and oppressed are set free. We want to see God’s love and mercy touch the people with whom we work, live, play, and go to school.

Interested in finding out more? A great place to start is at Get Started! Join us for a light brunch, where you’ll get to meet new friends, our leaders, and find out more about plugging in at the Vineyard. It is held in the library on the third Sunday of each month: 10:00 or 11:45 a.m.
