OUR STORY

The dream of Mid-City Vineyard Church began in the kitchen of Aarti Sequeria one spring evening in 2017, while at their Home Group, Aarti casually mentioned that there were no churches in their neighborhood. The idea of a neighborhood in LA with no churches, pierced Sandra’s heart. She began praying and researching the area. She already knew that LA was one of the least churched cities in the country, but she discovered Mid-City was one of the least churched neighborhoods in the city.

God was putting something into motion. At a Vineyard Leaders conference that summer, she connected with the ARC Church Planting organization and felt a call to partner with them in planting a new church.She began sharing the vision with her friends and one by one they joined her in being part of a team to plant a new church in Mid-City LA. 

After months of planning, praying, securing  a meeting location and building a team, the Mid-City Vineyard Church was officially launched in January of 2019.It started with a launch team of about 45 people.One year later, Mid-City Vineyard church consists of congregation of over 100 adults and children.With the banner Welcome Home at the front door… Mid-City Vineyard church became a place where people experienced God and experienced true belonging.Over 40 people made decisions to follow Christ this first year!

Every single week has been an adventure.  We are continually amazed at how God keeps bringing new people every single week.It’s been a joy to see lives being healed and restored. People are finding hope in Jesus!
