What we believe
The Vine is rooted in, and takes its character from John’s gospel, chapter 15 :
“(Jesus said ) I am the true vine.. Abide in me, and I will abide in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful apart from me. I am the vine ; you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit… As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you ; abide in my love.” John 15:1
Our calling is to :
- See the Kingdom of God established in the communities of Cherry Willingham, Reepham, Fiskerton and beyond.
- Bring the good news of Jesus to people of all backgrounds and ages.
- Enable people to develop a personal relationship with Jesus

In everything we do, we aim to be :
- Jesus-centred

These aims underpin our Mission, vision and Values and is fully inline with our Statement of Faith
