What Your Faith Can Do

Our Community

Our small congregation is again experiencing the winds of renewal as we meet in our elegant little building on Sundays at 11. This year we were again engaged in assisting our Ukrainian Community. A new Ukraine church outreach begins this August right here within 20 Church.  We are also now a partnering host to the Christian preschool, which operates during the school year to provide helpful instruction to our young Community Scholars, as they prepare for their first year in kindergarten classes provided by the public school board.

Why People Come

Nancy

If you struggle with low self-esteem or feel directionless in life, you are welcome to join us at our 20 Church. We have experienced the same challenges as you, and it’s not uncommon in this day and age to sense discouragement, dysfunction or even hopelessness or depression. We can help you discover a new strength in His Word and a rejuvenated passion for living.

I know I am not alone in the universe, and we serve a big God. I was so lucky and blessed to meet all the wonderful people who are now my friends, and it all happened because of your church. Thank you all for being such a huge encouragement in Life & Faith, it’s just great!

I am really grateful to this church for the great preaching we receive here. Not watered down, social stuff. The entire church is like a big extended family. Here it’s friendly, supportive, and encouraging. We find people of God & the Love of God here. I encourage you to join our community!

Community Roots for over 100 years!

Our Story:

 We have a long and rich history in Vineland. Twenty Valley Community Church – 20 Church – has been in this community for over 100 years!

In 1908, Twenty Valley Community church had its humble beginnings when a preacher from Topeka Kansas felt persuaded that the revival that broke out in a Bible College in that community should be told elsewhere. His determination for us in this valley culminated in a tent meeting in nearby Jordan. People from near and far were attracted to these meetings that were extraordinary because of the sense of God’s power being manifested. This first meeting was followed up with another meeting which lasted for several days at a camping site in the Jordan Valley. 

People were amazed at the overwhelming power of the Holy Spirit which was being ‘poured out’ in a manner not unlike that recorded in the Book of Acts. There were reports of souls being converted to Christ while there was great enthusiasm for the Acts chapter two experiences in and of the Holy Spirit as well as testimonies of divine healing.  The lasting result was the planting of a small congregation in the town center of Vineland. Sunday School commenced in a borrowed hall and shortly, the little church grew in what seemed like limitless ways.

A piece of property was acquired at the intersection of RIttenhouse and Victoria Avenue. The first structure that appeared on the lot was an airplane hanger that was transported to the site and repurposed for the growing assembly of Spirit filled believers. We are still meeting on that very site, albeit, in a structure that has undergone numerous renovations.  We are a prominent fixture on the main street of Vineland.

During the years of church growth, successful endeavours to start other churches brought a great sense of God’s leading. The founding of the current Central Pentecostal Church on Scott street in St Catharines was greatly influenced by our church. Later in the 1960s another adventure in church planting resulted in the now prominent church on the Q.E. Way, identified as Lakemount Church.  

As for pastoral leadership; some of the most renowned preachers of the early days of Pentecost in Canada were well known as frequent preachers at this assembly. A lengthy list of some of the who’s-who of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada served as resident pastoral leadership. Some planted, others watered and God gave the increase.

The Jesus story is filled with how he interacted with people everyday, doing miracles, healing the afflicted and more. He provoked people to consider living their days abundantly. You see his tenderness of heart and his way of looking at the world engaged people to move beyond the boundaries they had set for their life. Jesus pointed out that our perceptions can hold us captive to be less than we can be.

Men’s Breakfast

June 22, 2024 09:30-July 10, 2024 22:00 20Church
In keeping with our dedication and commitment to our Community, our Pastor and some of our men went throughout the community door to door to invite men to a breakfast gathering event with special music in “The Pastor’s Yard”. A great place to gather under the Vineland great trees and in cool breezes. It was a perfect day July 22. There was more than enough food and coffee was plentiful and it was commented by many that notwithstanding the coffee grounds tablespoons count was many times forgotten … coffee turned out great.
