First time visiting us?

Walking into any type of meeting or gathering can feel a little intimidating the first time. You’re not sure where to go, what to do or who to talk to. You may want to remain anonymous and just “check everything out” from a distance or to introduce yourself, either way, you’re so welcome at Dublin Vineyard. To help you feel more comfortable as our guest at one of our Sunday services, here are a few questions answered:

  • While we all want all this COVID stuff to be behind us, people in our community have varying degrees of comfort when it comes to indoor gatherings. Some are ready to do away with all social distancing measures, while others are more cautious, and it’s not a matter of right or wrong but simply a personal preference.

    We feel that the measures we are putting in place, are the best way to respect and honor everyone in our community - And- in that way, to fulfill the command of Romans 12 - that we honor one another, above ourselves,

    So the measures we're going to take are:

    • We are no longer operating a pre-booking system for our Sunday services. Just join us @ 11 am on Sunday mornings.

    • We ask that if you have any symptoms of COVID that you do not attend the in-person service and instead join us online.

    • We will keep the doors open to ventilate the room - that means - the room will be very cold, so be sure to dress warm, scarves and gloves would be a good idea.

    • Masks are no longer required, but feel free you wear one if you would prefer.

    • Hand sanitizer will be provided to allow people to sanitize their hands when they arrive and as they leave.

    What if I have another question?

    If you have any further questions, please contact us. We’d be happy to answer any queries you might have.

  • When you arrive at the YMCA building, please be prompt arriving 10 minutes before service commences, where you will:

    • be greeted by our Welcome Team at the entrance.

    • you will be directed upstairs to the main hall, and you will be free to take a seat of your choice.

    • the coffee and tee will be available for you to connect with folks, before and after the service , so please make yourself at home.

    The entire service will last no longer than one hour, as we know sitting in a mask can be uncomfortable.

  • Thank you for agreeing to the following:

    • refrain from attending if you or anyone in your household/bubble is exhibiting potential signs of covid.

    • feel free to use hand sanitiser on entry and exit from the church building

    • respecting the choices that others have made regarding seating and comfort stickers

    • informing us immediately if you suspect you have covid after attending the service

  • The style of our service is informal, relaxed and contemporary. We currently offer two ways of joining our services - In-Person or Online services.

    The In-Person service begins at 11am and finishes around 12pm. We start our service with about 15 minutes of worship music led by our worship band. This is followed by a 25 minute sermon given by the lead pastor or a member of our leadership team. Our aim is that the sermon would help us apply the truth of the Bible to our lives. We want this to be meaningful, inspiring and relevant to our everyday lives.

    After the sermon, we want to take a few minutes to respond to what we’ve heard which will include another worship song, stillness and then a closing prayer over the congregation. There will usually also be an opportunity to receive prayer for any personal needs including healing.

    Online service Each Sunday at 10:30am we also gather as a community online watch now These services are also available to watch later

  • Parents who have children attending Vineyard kids would sign their kids out of class, & we always love to hang out together and enjoy each other’s company, as we get to know each other a little more. There is always a tea and coffee on the go to make this possible, so please join us after service.

  • All Youth, Children and babies are welcome to attend the In-Person service with Parents.

    Children of all ages will need to be seated with parents throughout the service and supervised after the service.

    Please bring your own materials to quietly occupy your child/babies during the service .

    Vineyard Kids only meet every Sunday, and parents sign their kids into class after Worship, and sign them out again once service is over. Fid out about Vineyard Kids here .

  • We do have a Family room area upstairs off the main hall in the studio, where parents of Infants to 2 1\2 years olds, who might need a bit of space to settle their little ones during service, can do so in comfort. It’s great space with lots of Buggy Parking Area, toys, mats and changing facilities. This room is linked with sound for parents to be able to continue to hear the sermon, and they can connect with others while their kids roam freely in the space.
