South Shields
South Shields’ Community
Site Pastors Mike and Jo moved up to South Shields from London in January 2021 after feeling drawn to the north east by God, with a heart for church planting. They visited areas across the region in the summer of 2020, and when they came to South Shields they immediately felt God was calling them to base themselves there.
From September 2021 they started an online Life Group, which rapidly grew in numbers, and realising just how many people God was pulling together with a heart for South Shields, it was clear that the time was near…
In September 2022, with much support and encouragement, we were excited to see the expansion of the Life Vineyard family with the intention of this site becoming a church plant in September 2024. Our vision is to see God’s powerful, joyful, colourful, hope-filled, vibrant kingdom break out in the communities of South Tyneside as we shine Jesus’ light, bringing out the God-colours in our communtities.
We’ve had fun getting to know local families at our family fun-days and other outreach events. We’ve enjoyed looking at the Bible, worshipping and praying together, and learning how we can deepen our relationship with Jesus. And we’ve loved building friendship with each other.
We can’t wait to watch as God continues to bless South Shields and transforms this area in to a place that shines for His glory.
