As a Vineyard church, worship is our highest priority.

We see songwriting by the congregation as a vital part of glorifying God and edifying His church.

Each of us has been given gifts and talents from God that we can use to glorify Him and share His love for humanity. We want to sing songs that tell our story of God at work in us. We want to respond to what is happening in our church through songwriting, to facilitate a corporate response of a corporate experience.

During this time, you may find that you have more available time, or less so, but we believe that songwriting can develop a language of prayer and intimacy between you and God. So whether you’ve written a worship song before or not, we’d love to invite you to take 10 minutes a day to take on the Songwriting Challenge!
