PLEASE INVITE ME TO THE SHARE & PRAYER
What to expect
Each week we meet together online at 10.30am for a time of worship, teaching and prayer. The online service lasts for between 30–45 minutes and, if you're watching on a computer or mobile device, you can chat before, during and after the service using the Live Chat facility. The post-service Share & Prayer on Zoom lasts for about 25 minutes and is an opportunity to share news and pray with others. There is also an opportunity to receive personal prayer immediately after the service.

Where can I find you?
Our online services are broadcast on YouTube and Facebook. Sunday services premiere at 10.30am and continue to be available after broadcast. To explore the Melton Vineyard channel simply click on the YouTube logo below.

Who's it for?
Anyone! It doesn’t matter what age you are, whether you are single or married, employed or out-of-work, whether or not you have children, whether you’re a committed Christian or ‘just looking’, or what background, race or culture you come from – if you are looking for "life to the full" (John 10.10), you are welcome!

What do you offer for children?
We aim to make all our services family-friendly, but we recognise that children need age-specific resources too, so we broadcast a Family service on YouTube at 10am on the second Sunday of each month. There is also a Melton Vineyard Family Group on Facebook that hosts a Young Vineyard Live event every fourth Sunday.

What kind of worship songs do you use?

We sing a mix of contemporary songs from Vineyard Worship, Hillsongs, Bethel and others, along with more traditional hymns. If you'd like to hear a sample, including some used in Children's Worship, just click on the Spotify playlist below.

How can I join the church?
You'll find lots of information about how to join Melton Vineyard on the GET CONNECTED page.

WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN?

ABOUT  Melton Vineyard

Picture
Melton Vineyard is a Christian church and was planted in 2006 by Neal Swettenham and Eluned Owen. Neal and Eluned are married with three grown-up children. They met at drama college before working as actors and then drama lecturers. Neal now works full-time for Melton Vineyard. Eluned continues to work part-time as a drama lecturer and freelance voice coach. They believe that the church's role is to equip ordinary people to live extraordinary lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.
BLESS   |  SERVE   |   PRAY

We want to BLESS others as we share the unconditional love of Jesus
       We will SERVE each other and the wider community
       We will PRAY in order to do all this in the power of the Holy Spirit

"We believe that God is at work in every individual’s life, and our aim is to connect people to Jesus, serve the communities in which we live and be channels of the Holy Spirit. Our style is relaxed and informal and there is plenty of fun and laughter, even as we take God and His word seriously. We use mostly contemporary worship songs and informal prayer, though there can be the occasional traditional hymn or set prayer as well.  We aim to be a church where imperfect people (all of us) feel perfectly welcome, where worship and prayer are at the heart of everything, and where people can encounter God’s love and power, without hype and at their own pace."

OUR VISION

Melton Vineyard is a registered charity and part of the Vineyard family of churches.  Steve & Tammy Gee, from Central Vineyard Northampton, are the Area Leaders and our trustees are Bernie Carter, Steven Cliff, Nick Gretton, Eluned Owen and Neal Swettenham. Melton Vineyard is a member of Churches Together in Melton Mowbray.

Vineyard Churches

The Vineyard Movement is a network of over 1,500 churches worldwide, committed to seeing each generation reached by the power of the gospel. Valuing integrity in Christian character along with the activity of the Holy Spirit, each Vineyard church seeks to be an outpost of God’s compassionate love in a broken world.

What makes a Vineyard Church a ‘Vineyard’?
  • The Bible is taught as the standard for living
  • Intimate worship is a priority
  • Care for the poor is prominent
  • Evangelism is central
  • Signs and wonders are expected
  • Relationship is valued and fostered
  • People are trained and equipped for ministry
  • There is a love for and participation with other churches in the body of Christ
  • Spiritual gifts are seen as the everyday tools for ministry
  • There is participation and support for world mission through church planting

John & Debby Wright
John & Debby are the National Directors of the movement and have been serving together in pastoral ministry since 1990. John initially trained and worked for a number of years as a jeweller before studying at London Bible College. Debby lived in Chile until she was 13 and later moved to Nottingham to train as a dancer and artist. They first got involved with the Vineyard movement in 1982 and in 1987 they spent 8 months as interns at Anaheim Vineyard under John Wimber the leader of the Vineyard Movement in the USA. Following their time at Anaheim they returned to England to help John and Eleanor Mumford start the first UK Vineyard in London. They worked at South West London Vineyard for 9 years before moving back to Nottingham to set up Trent Vineyard. In January 2015 it was announced that they would take over as the National Directors of Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland from John & Eleanor Mumford, whilst continuing to lead Trent Vineyard. Today there are about 120 churches in the UK and Ireland and the Vineyard continues to grow, pursuing a mission to preach the gospel, plant churches and change the world.
