Regarding Vineyard Anaheim
As a church, Canyon Vineyard is focused on continuing the mission of Jesus: healing the sick, bringing freedom to captives, and preaching the Good News to everyone who has ears to hear. Equipping the Saints to perform these duties is at the heart of everything we plan, from Sunday services to ministry throughout the week.
Nevertheless, as part of that call, we have a necessary obligation to address ongoing abuse flowing from the very schism that led to the formation of our local church body.
Addressing Abuse
The Canyon Vineyard leadership team is making every effort to maintain unity in the body of Christ and avoid any semblance of bitterness or unkindness toward other members of the body, even where we find them in error. We want to address and bring correction to abuse, not vilify those causing it. Nonetheless, it is necessary to make people aware of dangerous, abusive patterns of behavior and leadership that could jeopardize the spiritual formation and growth of those exposed to it.
​
To that end we provide here links to useful perspectives on the ongoing issues we see at The Dwelling Place in Anaheim (formerly Vineyard Anaheim and the church from which Canyon Vineyard was formed).
