Our mission at the Franklin Vineyard is to continue the works of Jesus in touching disenchanted hearts. We want to “do the stuff” we see Jesus doing in the Bible in our world here, near and far away. At the Vineyard, you’ll find an authentic, welcoming crowd, a casual atmosphere, and a meaningful and practical experience.
