Hope Vineyard is part of the movement of Vineyard Churches, and was planted out of Trent Vineyard, Nottingham in 2017.

Vineyard Churches, are part of the wider Christian church family. The name Vineyard comes from a Biblical symbol, used to describe God’s ongoing care for His people. Hope Vineyard Oxford also belongs to the Love Oxford network of churches, and we are members of the Evangelical Alliance.

As well as being a church, Hope Vineyard Church Oxford is also a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), overseen by a Board of Trustees and registered with the Charity Commission (Charity No 1173765).

VCUKI

Racial Diversity Network

Vineyard Churches (VCUKI) are a ‘movement’ of churches across the UK and Ireland, with a united leadership, shared events and resources that are both at a national and regional level. Nationally, there are networks that help resource and serve local Vineyard churches.

We benefit from all the networks (See link to VCUKI website above), and have a particular interest in the Racial Diversity Network, as it is headed up by Josh Kay (Lead Pastor, Hope Vineyard Church Oxford).
