about vineyard usa

SCC holds immense gratitude for our heritage and our years as a part of the Reformed Church in America and the Alliance of Reformed Churches. However, after years of deliberate, thoughtful, and prayerful discernment, our board of elders and deacons unanimously voted in 2025 to invest in a future and ongoing partnership with Vineyard USA.

Vineyard USA is a strong match for SCC for three main reasons:

  • Emphasis on the Kingdom of God and the Scriptures: “We (Vineyard USA) see Jesus’ teaching on the Kingdom of God as the overarching and integrating theme of the Scriptures. The Vineyard movement expresses the historical, biblical, orthodox Christian beliefs with the Bible as our final authority in all matters of faith and practice.”*

  • Emphasis on the power and presence of the Spirit: “As communities of the Spirit, we (Vineyard USA) are not simply implementing the best church strategies, trying to accomplish what is humanly possible. Rather, our mission involves praying and finding power from God Himself to accomplish what humans could never accomplish on their own. We pray for the sick, we confront injustice, and we seek to hear the voice of God on behalf of others.”*

  • Opportunity for real local partnerships in Colorado Springs, Denver, and broader Colorado.
