My family and I came to Harmony Vineyard 2 years ago. We had only been saved for about 3 years and had been receiving a firm foundation at another church when God told us to leave there. We left, not knowing where we were going, but God did. About 2 weeks later I received a Kindness To Go bag while at the bread store with my children. My husband and I checked out the website and were excited about visiting the next Sunday. Even from that first time, when I walked through the door I knew I was home! I was immediately drawn to the hearts of the people. They cared! They really cared about us! Harmony Vineyard is a place to come in broken and be loved into maturity. It’s impossible to be here for very long and not see the loving kindness within the staff and Pastors here. THIS is the way church is supposed to be!

My third child was born about 5 months after we started and we had him dedicated by Pastor John a month later. I wasn’t expecting him to be as involved with it as he was. He had prayed about my son beforehand, and studied the meaning of his name. When the time came for him to be dedicated Pastor was able to pray into Joshua’s life from his heart, not just his head. I was deeply touched.

Last year was a very difficult year for me as I experienced the loss of my Uncle and Dad, as well as come face to face with some buried issues from past abuse. Pastor John made himself available, more than once, to listen and give direction in my walk. God is faithful to guide us through the storm and transform us on the way.

My family and I are eternally grateful to Pastor John and Pastor James for hearing from and obeying the Lord with His vision for this church. Thank you!
