Helping Everyday People Do What Jesus Did

Our Mission

The True North Vineyard Church is a diverse, outward-focused community of faith that seeks to follow Jesus and do what He did, through a unique expression of the unchanging Gospel. We exist to love our neighbors, and to lift up the name of Jesus by engaging in passionate worship, pursuing social justice, and living in authentic community in the city of Florence, Alabama and in the surrounding Shoals area.

Our greatest desire is to love Jesus, to know Him, and to make Him known.
