God is in the
transformation business
and we get to join in!

Our Vision + Purpose

We are a people carrying the mandate of Isaiah 61, where the Spirit of God is upon us to bring transformation. We want to see multiple thriving sites across London with Worship, Formation and Mission at their core. We believe that God is in the transformation business and we get to join in!

We are a community passionately pursuing God’s heart for our city through our ordinary everyday lives. We are Vineyard 61 Church, on mission to be a reflection of the heart and mind of God for a city in need of good news.

Our journey began in 2015 with a small group of people meeting in a home with a vision to start a church that would bring life to London. We have grown to become the multisite church that we are today, with three physical sites meeting in Balham, Battersea and West Side.

‍If you’re looking for a church to call home, we would love to invite you to join us as we seek to bring transformation to our city. There are loads of ways to get involved at V61, whether that’s Sunday services, midweek groups, compassion projects, joining a team or coming along to one of our many sports or social events. You are so welcome here and we’re looking forward to getting to know you!

With Love
