Here is just a small list of the different ministries that make up the Hyde Park Vineyard Church.  If you would like additional information about any of these ministries, please feel free to email the contact person listed under that ministry.

VINEYARD SUNDAY MORNING
Our Sunday morning service is a time for our whole church community to gather for worship, fellowship, Bible teaching, and prayer ministry. At times, we hope that special music, testimonies, video, and other media will enhance our worshipping and learning experiences.  It is an opportunity to mingle and linger with people you are just getting to know and people you want to get to know more. Vineyard Sunday Morning (VSM) meets at 10 am at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago.  Please click HERE for more information about Vineyard Sunday Morning.  Please click HERE to listen to a recent teaching from Vineyard Sunday Morning.

VINEKIDZ (CHILDREN'S MINISTRY, AGES 9 Months - 13 years)
Our purpose is to develop totally devoted disciples of Christ: children who are seeking and serving God, fellowshipping in the body of believers and reaching out to the world.  The hearts of our littlest are greatest in His eyes and we desire to bathe the youngest in God’s love and the love of our church community. This ministry is centered around Sunday mornings, giving parents a chance to focus on the message, and providing the children with a place to play and hear Bible stories. Please click HERE to contact Athaliah Watkins.

INTRO TO THE VINEYARD
Intro to the Vineyard is designed as an introductory class to the Vineyard Church. It covers Vineyard's belief, philosophy of ministry, and it's goals. There is a lot of opportunity to ask questions, and this gives our Senior pastor, Rand Tucker, an opportunity to get to know new people attending the church. You are not obligated to become a member if you attend. This is a great way for you to become more familiar with the church and its Vision. Please click HERE to contact Rand Tucker.

SMALL GROUPS
Small Groups are gatherings of small groups of people (usually 6-12) to study the Bible and grow together in their relationships with each other and with God.  Small Groups are the heart of our church community.  This is where relationships grow.  This is where lives are changed.  This is where we believe the authentic church community is lived out.  Please click HERE to view a list of our Small Groups.

PRE-MARITAL COUNSELING
We have couples in our church trained to counsel those that are engaged or are thinking about getting married.  This is a wonderful opportunity to meet with another couple to address practical issues related to marriage, to pray together, and learn Biblical principles to have a health marriage.  For more information about the Pre-Marital Counseling, please click HERE to contact Terence and Jen Petoske.

MERCY AND JUSTICE
As the Bible is replete with a call to serve the poor, we desire that this ministry be a natural overflow into all that we do in the community.  At certain times, this has included members of our congregation providing food, clothing, and Bibles as an opportunity to show God’s love to those living in the park.  Sometimes people
come to us for help, and we believe it is essential that we respond to such requests with compassion and benevolence.  The Vineyard regularly helps families in need of groceries or other assistance..  For more information about this ministry, please click HERE.

WORSHIP MINISTRY
We place a high value on worship. We believe that when we come to worship, we are not just singing songs, rather these songs are an expression of our lives lived for God. When we call out to God, He answers. We want to create a safe place where a multi-ethnic people can experience the presence of God. Our worship style is diverse and modern.
