About Us

Vineyard Amsterdam... Where love is real, and God isn't crazy.

We love this city and the diversity that it brings; everyone is welcome at Vineyard Amsterdam. We hope to be a place where you can encounter God in a meaningful way, where you can ask questions and enter into respectful conversations about Christian spirituality, where you find a community full of grace, and where you can join with us to be a voice of hope for the world. We value the expression of love in the way we care for one another as well as for our neighbors, and we value following God in a way that is concerened with truth and the intellectual pursuit of spirituality as well.

In all of our gatherings we are very casual and we put an emphasis on being real with one another... there's no hype and no need to dress up. It is our hope that you can come as you are, and feel accepted and welcomed. Our community is very diverse, and we enjoy the mix of culture, language, exprience. It is our desire to experience both grace and growth as we meet with each other and connect deeper with God.

You can expect to connect with God through music, discussions and teachings, conversations about God, or during prayer at a Connect Group in someone's home... and in lots of other ways. It’s pretty simple. And you can feel free to engage as much or as little as you are comfortable.

Our meetings on Sunday mornings are bi-lingual, in Dutch and English.
 

The Story of Vineyard Amsterdam

VA began in 2008 when a small group of Amsterdammers decided they wanted to start a new church in the city center. Since then, that group has grown from 15 people meeting in a living room to an established church of around 120 people. Our Leadership Team is made up of seven men and women from Holland, the U.S., and Finland.

The Vineyard movement is a worldwide community of over 1,200 churches. Vineyard's core values include: advocating for and serving the poor, being relevant to culture, experiencing God, being a reconciling community, and a belief in the presence of God in our every-day, normal lives.
