Capital Vineyard Church

Capital Vineyard Church We believe that transformed people transform communities. Capital Vineyard church was planted by Martin and Christine Baty back in 1995.

They had felt God’s call to plant a Vineyard church in Wellington long before Vineyard had gone international. In preperation for this, they studied at “The Ranch” Vineyard training school in the USA. Soon after this, the door was opened for Vineyard church planting in New Zealand to begin. Capital Vineyard was planted in the Baty’s lounge, starting as a homegroup until the first public meeting in

late 1995. If you are looking for a church in Wellington, then you have come to the right place. However, at Capital Vineyard, we don’t sit on pews and there is no stained glass…

…what you will find is a group of people facing their struggles, triumphs, hopes and fears; a bunch of people who don’t have all the answers, but are committed to seeking God for them. At Capital, you will find unconditional love and support, much laughter and some sadness, and in it all, awe and joy at what God is doing for us, with us and in us. Here at Capital Vineyard we believe that transformed people transform communities…

…so come along and discover what it feels like to be transformed.

Is prayer part of your life? Do you find it hard and strange or is it like breathing? In the Sermon on the mount, Jesus says "When you pray..." implying that his followers would be praying, and then he gives us a model to to use beginning with the profound words: Our Father in heaven! At CV last Sunday we drilled down into Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:5-18. Check out the BibleProject video on the Lord's Prayer!

Aiming to impress others by being kind or generous... Doing good just so other people will think you're pretty great...
Jesus says his followers should practice generosity and kindness in a way that doesn't seek glory or praise or rewards from people (Matthew 6:1-4). We dug into this passage on Sunday. To think about Jesus' teaching even more checkout the BibleProject vid and podcasts.

Imagine a society where yes means yes, and no means no...
Imagine a society without retaliation...
Imagine a society where we live out the love God has for all persons...
This is the vision of Life in the Kingdom Jesus paints in the sermon on the mount (Matthew 5:33-48). Dig deeper into these passages and check out the BibleProject video and podcasts:

Where the rubber meets the road - it's when you test out an idea or a plan. In the sermon on the mount, Jesus paints a vision for Kingdom reality, and in Matthew 5:21 he starts to look at what this means in everyday life... Last Sunday, James dug into these hard-hitting passages. To dig into them further check out the BibleProject video and podcasts:
