New Location.
Same Mission.
Our offer to purchase 1814 N Echo has been accepted!
Our story continues to be written as a church; it will just be in a new location. Our 4 years in our current Sunday location are coming to an end, and while we knew it was coming by the end of 2026, we have been surprised that by the end of May, we will be elsewhere.
May we be prayerful, expectant, and diligent in this season to remain on mission together as we search for a new Sunday gathering location. Below are ways to strengthen and join the story of Midtown as we search for a space to call home.
We are prayerfully seeking $600,000 by Friday, May 8th, for a down payment.
Will you prayerfully step into, with joy-filled and courageous generosity, to the story that God is writing in and through Midtown Vineyard Church?
“If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here." Exodus 33:15

In just the past couple of weeks, a rare opportunity has arisen: a church property at 1814 Echo Ave is for sale in the Tower District, an area in our city with unique zoning codes, which, for the most part, limit religious gatherings to 2,000 sq. ft or less, unless already zoned properly.
This current LDS property is large enough for our church to gather and serve its community, nearly square in the middle of the larger Tower District, directly across from Fresno High School, and in line with several businesses that draw residents from all over our city.
In this space, we would continue to commit ourselves to life change through the love and power of Jesus. Throughout the week, connecting with the 2,000 students at Fresno High. Throughout the year, engage and offer social events that are fun and meaningful. And, like we haven’t been able to before, offer regular space for recovery, student ministries, marriage & single care, compassion in action, and so much more.

Since the fall of 2025, our realtor and a small team have been actively looking for options, both to purchase and to rent.
While considering any building to make an offer on, as we have already in the past, we will continue pursuing other options to make sure we do not put all our eggs in one basket.
Additionally, we see this as a season where it is beneficial to keep all options on the table.
With that said, we will only communicate options when they become a viable opportunity worth inviting prayer and resources.
