Our Story

The Story of Vineyard Christian Church

In June 2005, Eastside Vineyard Church in Pickerington, OH sent Brian Burd and his family, along with approximately 55 other people to plant a church in Pataskala. We held our first service at Watkins Memorial High School on June 5th of 2005.

After four years of meeting in the High School and later sharing a building with Southwest Licking Community Baptist Church, we moved into our own permanent facility at 9286 York Rd SW (corner of York and Rt. 40 in Pataskala; Etna Township) in April 2009. Our new facility has a 220 seat auditorium and excellent classrooms and children's areas. Our Sunday services are at 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM.

We have grown from an original group of approximately 60-65 people to an average weekly attendance of around 215 people. We offer children's programs for Toddlers-12th Grade. There are a number of small groups (we call them "Connect Groups") that meet throughout the week. Our worship is contemporary, the messages are practical and encouraging, and dress is casual.

We define our purpose as a church with the phrase "Connecting People with God and Each Other." We look forward to carrying out this purpose, serving our community, and growing in our relationships with God. Our story is just getting started. . . it is with great expectation that we look forward to God's writing of our story!
