Evangelism
We reach the lost and unchurched by sharing the gospel in love.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me…” — We carry forward Christ’s mission to bring freedom, healing, and hope to every community, every nation, and every heart.
Luke 4:18 announced that the Messiah had come to liberate a hurting world. Today, True Vine Ministries continues that mission—bringing the same love, deliverance, and hope of Jesus to people everywhere.

We’re a joyful, Jesus-centered, people-loving church. These values guide how we live, lead, and serve—on Sundays and every day in between.
He is our source, our strength, and our purpose.
Every person matters to God—and to us.
We bring our best because He is worthy of our best.
Joy is part of our worship and our work.

Inspired by Acts 2:42–47, we follow six core practices of the early church: evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, worship, ministry, and prayer.
We reach the lost and unchurched by sharing the gospel in love.
We build people to become Christ-like through teaching principles of the Word. We preach and pray deliverance from all strongholds of demonic forces.
We connect people to each other for authentic relationships.
We provide a place for believers to serve each other through ministry opportunities.
We provide a free atmosphere to worship God in various forms in our weekly gatherings.
We conduct weekly prayer gatherings.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible written Word of God.
We believe that there is only One God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential for personal salvation. We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it. We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy and separated life in the present world.
We believe that redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer.
We believe in the blessed Hope, which is the rapture of the Church of God, which is in Christ at His return.

At 330 N. Reilly Road, Elder Ernest Jones, Sister Cynthia Jones, and their daughter Jessica, stepped out in faith to plant True Vine near Fort Bragg (Liberty), and launching gospel work in Fayetteville. The first to join were Minister Carlos Swinger, his wife Mary, and their daughter Candace. The church’s name, True Vine Ministries, was inspired by the words of Christ found in John 15:1 — “I am the True Vine, and my Father is the husbandman.”
First services held at 5315 Morganton Road—a growing home for worship and discipleship.
In the summer of 2001, True Vine expanded its existing sanctuary, building a 500–seat auditorium, and converting the previous edifice into a teen church. The next phase of building was completed in 2006 when the J Center was erected.
In 2009, the ministry purchased Liberty Place, a home near the campus providing food, clothing, and employment assistance twice weekly. On April 14, 2014, the adjacent property was acquired and established as the Administration and Education Building, housing administrative offices and Family Bible College. In 2015, True Vine Ministries began hosting White Flag Nights at the J-Center and was later selected by the city to operate the Hope Center, a 21-bed women’s shelter.
In 2024, the ministry began construction of True Vine Academy, a private elementary school serving grades K–5, and welcomed its first students in the 2025 school year.
From Fayetteville to the nations, we continue to liberate the world with the love of Christ.
There’s a place for you at True Vine—whether you’re exploring faith or looking for a church family.
