Our Vision
Thetford Vineyard Church is a place for all people to gather around God’s good plan for Thetford. Everyone is welcome to join with us in community, whatever your age, stage or beliefs. As we do life together, our aim is that we would partner with Jesus as He writes a new story of hope and restoration in our town.
Our vision is to build communities that bring life to Thetford. We do this by EATING, MEETING and SERVING together.
Looking to Connect?
Eat.
At Thetford Vineyard believe that gathering around a table is one of the best ways to grow authentic relationships with one another.
Jesus “came eating and drinking.” (Luke 7 v 34) - The Bible tells us that Jesus often shared meals with friends and strangers. Our desire is that there will always be a space at the table no matter who you are. We open up our homes, spread out the picnic rugs and throw banquets in order to create time and space to get to know one another better.
Why not join us for one of our Family-Friendly Brunches - every 2 weeks at Norwich Road Academy - Sunday 10.30am-12pm
Meet.
If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go further, go together.
At Thetford Vineyard we believe that life is best lived in circles rather than rows. We create a variety of environments open to all so that we might build authentic communities that bring life.
Life Groups;
In our mid-week Life Groups, we seek to support one another as we journey with Jesus. We intentionally spend time seeking God’s presence and hearing His voice in contemporary worship and times of prayer. We believe that the Bible is God’s blueprint for living and place high value in exploring it’s meaning for us. We know that God wants to work powerfully in our lives and in those around us and we welcome the supernatural and miraculous as natural, everyday possibilities.

Serve.
"The Church is the only organisation that does not exist for itself, but for those who live outside of it” (William Temple – Archbishop of Canterbury)
Thetford Vineyard is a Church that is unashamedly in Thetford and for Thetford. As Christians we believe that God’s desire is to see all things made new – to be renewed and restored by the power of His hope and love. We regularly join together to serve our community in creative ways, having fun and getting to know each other as we paint, dig, cook or clean.
Interested in joining one of our volunteer teams? Want to take part in projects that benefit our schools, young people and families in our Town? Come and love Thetford with us!
We hope to be a place where…
Jesus’ love is at the centre of everything; there is a warm welcome; others are invited to join in; friendships are built; life is lived to the full; lavish generosity is normal; the Bible is opened and lived out; we choose joy; a positive impact is made on the wider community; there is always a place at the table; worship is from the heart; people feel rested and restored; prayer changes things and creativity flourishes.
