FAQs
Our Services
If you've wondered what a spirit-filled service is like, we invite you to observe and experience God's joy and peace that defy description. And when you visit again, come expecting. Expect a move of God not only in the service, but also in your life. We think you'll agree that the comfort, help and strength He gives are better experienced than explained.
Top Questions People Have
Where and when are the church's services?
We meet at 2145 N. Maplewood Ave in Chicago's Bucktown/Logan Square neighborhoods. You can click on our Find Us page to get more details. We meet at 10:30 am and end by 12:30 pm. (With ministry & fellowship time.)
What kind of church is this?
We are a made up of bunch of people who are trying to live out what the Bible teaches. The Urban Vineyard is a place for people who are at any stage of their walk with God. It's a safe place for people who are looking for answers to their spiritual questions, and simply want to check out Christianity without anyone pressuring them. It's also a place where those who have decided to follow Jesus Christ can learn and be encouraged in their spiritual growth. The Urban Vineyard is a part of the Association of Vineyard Churches.
What should I wear?
Clothes. For those of you who like more details, come in whatever you are comfortable in. You may not see very many suits or ties, but we invite you to come as you are.
Will I have to say anything, sign anything, give anything, or be singled out in any way?
You will not be put on the spot, singled-out, or embarrassed at all. We do pass out a newcomer's packet which includes some basic information about the Urban Vineyard. We do like to collect some basic information from people but if you'd prefer not to give it that's all right with us.
Is there anything for my children?
While all age groups worship together at the Vineyard, during the sermon, there are activities for kids from birth to grade school. We have a nursery for infants & toddlers as well as fun & educational classes for kids up to 14.
So, what should I expect on Sunday Morning?
We recognize that attending a church for the first time can be an intimidating process. To make your first trip to the Vineyard a little
easier, here are some things you can expect when you show up.
Do you really have coffee after your service?
Yes. coffee, tea & other stuff, too! We believe that fellowship is an important aspect of being in a church. So we give time after the service for people to get a cup of coffee & meet someone they don't know. (p.s. - did we mention that it is really good coffee, and not that "been sitting in that huge coffee urn for 5 hours" coffee?) Watch for the debut of the Urban Cafe page.
