JOIN US SUNDAYS @ 2:30 PM
FOUNDED IN THE HEART OF THE TRI-CITIES
... SEEKING AND SHARING THE HEART OF JESUS.
Welcome to the online portal for the Vineyard Church. We are a brand new church located in Freeland, Michigan founded by long-time Freeland residents. We began meeting in Sept. 2023 with around 10 people with one mission - to foster positive change in our communities and beyond. If you are searching for a deeper connection with God and/or searching for a church to call home, we're here for you.
Vineyard Freeland is a new fellowship led by long-time Freeland residents. Pastor Mike and Tiffany have served our community for over 20-years. We encourage you to explore our site and discover how we may partner together in your faith journey.

PLAN YOUR VISIT
We meet at 2:30 PM every Sunday at 8445 Webster Rd in Freeland. This is directly across from the High School in the First Baptist Church building (no affiliation).
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A SUNDAY SERVICE
WORSHIP
We set aside around 20 minutes for praise and worship with our worship team as we celebrate together in a contemporary worship style. We feature new songs, original songs, and an occasional classic song done in a contemporary style. By the way - Our worship team is actively recruiting new members are sensing God's call to use their gifts for Jesus!
FAMILY LIFE
We take 2-3 minutes for connecting and directing the community through announcements and testimonies.
COMMUNION
We take about 5 minutes each week to participate in the Lord's Supper. We offer open communion and do not require church membership. All believers, including brand new Christians and children, are welcome to come to the Lord's table.
KIDS' CHURCH
We offer a weekly opportunity for children-5th grade to experience a Bible lesson and activities that meet them on their level. We dismiss the children to KIDS' CHURCH after communion (about 25-30 minutes into the service.)
TEACHING
We share around 30 minutes of instruction and encouragement with personal stories, relevant scripture and challenging practical applications. Mike Leiter, our lead pastor, is an avid student of the Bible and holds a Masters Degree in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. You can always expect an inspiring, challenging, biblically based, and relevant teaching every week.
"NATURALLY" SUPERNATURAL MINISTRY TIME
We close by making space to listen for God’s real-time voice and to share His presence in prayer and healing. We don't "hype" things up, but simply listen for the leading of the Holy Spirit to help people experience healing, deliverance, or whatever God wants to do.
LIGHT REFRESHMENTS & FELLOWSHIP FOLLOWING
We follow each of our meetings with coffee and light refreshments as we get to know one another and build meaningful connections with one another.

OUR CORE VALUES:
WE ARE:
Jesus Centered
Jesus is at the center of everything we are as a Church and, being sent by Jesus, we are to replicate and multiply the joy of living the Jesus-shaped life.
Spirit Empowered
We embrace the fruit, gifts, and empowerment of the Holy Spirit as recorded in Scripture and testified throughout the history of Christianity.
Biblically Guided
Everything we do is guided by a responsible understanding and application of the Scriptures.
Community Enriching
We aim to enrich our community by being givers not takers, helpers not hinderers, and by lifting up those who have been let down.
Joy Multiplying
We aim to plant new campuses and churches in order to continue the historical and worldwide mission of sharing the joy that comes from knowing and walking with Jesus.
