Founders
Bob and Penny Fulton
Bob and Penny Fulton have been in the ministry and involved in bringing people to Jesus, discipling them, developing leaders, starting small groups and planting churches throughout most of the history of the Vineyard. Bob and Penny’s number one value in planting this church, is that people would be intimate worshipers of God and love one another, that all of us would find great joy raising the dead to enjoy life and purpose in Jesus Christ
