I’ve been attending Vineyard Manhattan since the beginning, and have found a it to be a welcoming community of sincere and passionate disciples of Jesus.
The worship is authentic and heartfelt and the sermons are culture-engaging & gospel driven. Pastor Adam’s obvious love for God’s word is contagious and inspiring.

I've been part of Vineyard Manhattan for several years now and have yet to come across a church quite like it. Vineyard feels unique and like a place where God is actively, steadily working. Teaching the Bible is our pastor, Adam Schalter's, passion. Being Oxford University educated, Adam teaches scripture from both an academic and personal/emotional approach, which I greatly appreciate.
