Vine & Branch Church

Vine & Branch is a small community of Jesus Followers who practice our faith together within the broad Christian tradition. The framework for all our practices is “Belong, Become, Believe.” We’ve chosen to position ourselves in the most diverse part of Fayetteville, Arkansas, to engage with the surrounding community and offer a place of connection, networking, and social entrepreneurship. The folks who are part of the Vine & Branch Church family come from different cultures, faith traditions, points of view which makes for some interesting conversations as we figure out together what it means to live in the Jesus Kingdom every day. This is why we focus on how we believe rather than just what we believe.
