In 1991 John and Gwen Elmer felt called by God to move back to Syracuse to start a Vineyard church. They wanted to develop a church that had a "come as you are and be loved" atmosphere. The church started with a small group of six meeting in the Elmer's living room. In February 1992 they had their first public service in a rented space at a local church. In 1995 the church rented its own space over a pizzeria in the village of Camillus.
1999 brought about a big change; the purchase of our own building in Lakeland near the New York State Fairgrounds. In this building the church has prospered and grown from one service to four per weekend.
We have opened a new campus in Auburn to better serve Central New York.
