THE ROCK AND REDEEMER VINEYARD CHURCH
We are an organisation that is generally funded by its own members, of whom wish to invest in the benefits of primarily their own local community and secondly those surrounding and wider, based on the teachings of Jesus. The investing has been for example focused on helping others with genuine need who cannot help themselves, hosting musical events and supporting other local charities.
