"I came to West Wilts Vineyard a year and a half ago and I have
never felt so welcomed by a group of people before. I felt completely part of the
family from the word go. Its from my experience here at WWVY that I have fully come
to realise that church isn\'t a building, or a thing I go to on a sunday, its people
just loving each other as God wants us to, caring and sharing (in laughter, fun and
the sad times) with each other and the people around them...24/7."

"This Church has been a home and family to me since the beginning, it's such a beautiful thing to be part of something so significant and life changing and having the opportunity to play a part in the growth and development of such a down to earth and yet beautifully spiritual community of people. I'm genuinely excited about life and this community, God is at work here, anything could happen! Peoples lives are being transformed and the fact that we are such an accessible church, a church where all are welcome, come as you are, this really is "church for the rest of us".

"I cannot believe that I am a part of a church that knows how
to have so much fun ?€? everybody is passionate about discovering more about Jesus
but also knows how to have a laugh too. People who don?€?t usually go to church really enjoy it ?€? and they understand what is being said too because the talks are easy to follow and relevant."

"I am pleased to find a place to know God better and how He
accepts me as I am.
I have found security in the accountability of the wider Vineyard movement working
within our church community.
I am regularly reminded of my value as God's child and find inspiration in the teaching and worship music, mostly it is the people that make up the church that I enjoy spending
time with."

"I have been part of the west wilts vineyard for 2 years now and they have been 2 of the most happy and rewarding years of my life! Things
would be very different for me today had I have not visited a friend in Trowbridge 2 years ago and met a lovely couple that were already part of West Wilts Vineyard. I wasn't in a very good place in life at all. I was very lonely where i was
living in dorset and only had one good friend. After talking to a couple from Vineyard the evening that I visited Trowbridge I could see something incredibly
different about them and wanted to know more, so I came to church the following morning although I really wasn't sure that I wanted too.
That morning a man was sharing his story about how God had drastically changed his life and healed him for all sorts of addictions - I know God had meant for me to be there. I dedicated my life to God that morning and my life has been turned around since. I was there for me I was still coming over to Trowbridge every Sunday on my quad to be part of this very special community that God wanted me to be a part of. I remember a few people saying to me when was I going to move to Trowbridge!?? I really hated Trowbridge and could not imagine living
here, I lived in a beautiful little cottage in Dorset why would I want to live in
Trowbridge!?. This is Gods sense of humour at its best!! One sunday God clearly
spoke to me and said that I should hand my notice in at work and tell my landlord that I would be moving out within a month!! Huge leap of faith! God lined up everything to work perfectly when the risk looked massive. Oh and just so that you know I absolutely love living in Trowbridge now! I consider everyone that goes to WWVY to be my family and
the change in me over these 2 years has been awesome, getting to know Jesus as my
friend has been the best!! One of the most profound things about being part of such
an amazing community and growing with Jesus is that I do not worry about anything
any more. I was never judged, I was made to feel so welcome and I was shown love
and compassion like I have never experienced before, I have never looked back and I
have never been so happy and so free! =)"

"In a season of being so broken and having so little we have
never had so much blessing, kindness, love and fun, I thank God for
taking care of us and thank West Wilts Vineyard for loving us. You have restored my faith and mended my heart"

"Just to send you our sincere thanks and gratitude for the Christmas boxes which me and my daughters received via our Splitz counsellor. There was so much thought and love put into those gifts and we were all very touched by the generosity of the church group. And the hamper was so welcome and will ease the expense of Christmas food shopping.
This time last year (and for many years before) we were putting together shoe boxes for those in need of a bit of Christmas cheer and here we are a year later receiving them. So much can happen in such a short time and it's vital not to lose sight of the things in life which mean the most: friends and family and the unconditional love that they have for you. My friends restored my faith in God's love and opened my eyes to seeing what I have and not what I have lost.
Bless you all for your kindness and we hope that you have a wonderful Christmas filled with peace and love. We'll all say a prayer of thanks for you."

"I am so blessed to be part of WWVYD. Since I joined you in January 2010 I have been blessed by the worship, thank you worship teams, and have grown and been challenged in my walk with God through the preaching, especially the series on maturity, and through the prayers and words of my people, especially my lovely, beautiful, home group.
Thank you WWVYD for all your love and prayers, and for encouraging and challenging me to do the things God has called me to do. I love you guys."

"This has been the most incredible year at WestWiltsVineyard, I have grown so much, been challenged, found a new depth of freedom that I could only ever dream about, I have made some fab new friends, found acceptance, a place where I can use my gifts, am surrounded by people who are non judgemental and encouraging, a place that is safe. Plus I get to do the stuff Jesus talked about, feed the hungry, heal the sick, and set the captives free, just waiting to walk on water now!! Looking forward to 2011 and what that will bring."

" I wake up on a Sunday morning and I can't think of anything I'd rather do than go to church, and worship, and have God speak to me - into my heart, into my life - every single week, without fail."
