Bubury Vineyard – Christian Fellowship

We are situated right in the heart of our city centre ( please see Map below ) and operate as a Team-lead church, headed up by our Senior Elder Tim Wheeldon. Tim is the first point of contact to the general community and can be contacted on 0412 456768. The Team includes all the elders and leaders of our various ministries. Follow our Leadership Team link for more details.

We follow the SafeWA COVID guidelines when we meet and strive to maintain good hygiene practices. Masks are no longer required but we do encourage everyone to sanitise their hands on entry into the building.

To assist with communication, we have a weekly email update to outline COVID19 related changes as they develop and to stay in touch along with our Facebook page and of course our Contact Us link on this website where you will find details of our location and our email address. We would love to hear from you!

About Us

Bunbury Vineyard Christian Fellowship began in 1999 as a plant from the Australind Vineyard Church. The plant originally met at the Bunbury Lighthouse Beach Resort, before moving to the Lyric Theatre for around 18 months and then to our Clifton Street location for 16 years. In August 2017 we moved to our current location in Wellington Street. More about Vineyard....

Community

Our Church supports a Compassion child and we are also part of a TEAR Australia initiative in Asia. Through TEAR Australia we partner with PNKS, a Cambodian Christian community development agency. For more info visit https://www.tear.org.au. We also now support the work of IJM (International Justice Mission). For more information visit https://www.ijm.org.au., and contribute to the ongoing work of Vineyard Churches Australia. A Filipino church, RCCGO, utilises our venue on Saturday afternoons to conduct their services. Locally, we try to support families and/or groups in need as the opportunities arise. We support the local Street Chaplaincy ministry in partnership with other local churches in our community. A number of our fellowship are actively involved with the program (see Tim Wheeldon or Alison Paull for more details). We supply a simple breakfast to anyone in need each Sunday morning from 8.30 – 9.15am.

Values

Partner with the Holy Spirit

Our mission involves praying & finding power from God himself to accomplish what humans never could accomplish on their own. We pray for the sick; confront injustice; & seek to hear the voice of God on behalf of others. This involves partnership with a Person beyond ourselves.

Experience & worship God

Genesis 3:1-24 tells of the moment when humans rebelled against God & chose their own way over & against the will of God. the result is isolation & alienation. Self-centred creatures care far more for themselves than they care about God, people & his creation. The declaration of the kingdom of God is an act of reconciliation: bringing people back to God, into deep relationship with each other, & into a life of caring about God’s creation again.

Reconcile people with God and all creation

Worshiping & experiencing God goes far beyond singing. In every moment of our lives, we seek to live in the presence of the Lord. At the same time, corporate singing is a precious part of what it means for us to be the people of the kingdom.

Pursue culturally relevant mission in the world

The message of the kingdom was intended by Jesus to extend from culture to culture & from generation to generation. While our core values & beliefs do not change, the form in which they are expressed will change. The kingdom of God can be expressed through casualness or formality, rock music or hip-hop, big churches or house churches. The key for us is to stay true to the mission of God, & let God show us how his glory can be expressed in each new context.

Engage in compassionate ministry

In the Gospels we are reminded that as crowds gathered to see Jesus’ ministry & hear the profound wisdom he offered, Jesus looked out at the crowd & had compassion on them. Compassion is not about pitying people. It is seeing people in their difficult, complicated life situations & believing that God can use his people to minister hope to them.
