OUR HISTORY
GCV history
Our fellowship has quite a history! We were founded back in March of 1993 by Tom and Karen Pauquette, as a church plant. We began meeting in a living room located on South Eureka Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. Over the years, we have moved around quite a bit, calling different locations our home. Some of these places include West Franklin Elementary School, as well as a storefront that could be found on the corner of Wedgewood Drive and Sullivant Avenue. As we continued to share the gospel with our community and build relationships with fellow believers, we grew stronger. In May of 1996, we were thrilled to take possession of a building located at 1159 Demorest Road.
WHO WE ARE NOW
In the Spring of 2001, we began construction on a corn field and moved to our current Holt Road site. We were motivated to create a space that would serve the needs of our fellowship and community for years to come. Our church has grown over the years, and we now have a thriving and growing congregation. It's been an exciting journey, and we're grateful for the support and dedication of our members.
ARE WE RELATED?
You may have noticed there are quite a few Vineyard churches in Columbus and the surrounding areas. It's interesting to learn that many of these churches started as outreaches or "church plants". However, it's important to note that each Vineyard is independent, meaning that not all Vineyard churches are the same. Despite their differences, all Vineyard churches do share common essential elements of Christian doctrine and practice.
OUR BELIEFS
We believe and teach all the basic truths of Christianity. We also believe that God still speaks to and empowers the Church today, and expect to experience a deep sense of God's presence and power in our worship, Bible teaching and prayer. Our heart's desire is to emulate the church as described in Acts 2:42-47.
This is what we believe.
