Last updated

History

Founded in August 2004 under the name "Heartland K10 Lawrence", services were originally held in a variety of rooms on the University of Kansas campus, primarily attended by students. After out-growing space available to campus ministries on a weekly basis, the ministry moved to the Lawrence Arts Center, then to Lawrence Memorial Central Middle School, until moving into their current facility at 1501 New Hampshire St. The church officially changed its name to Vintage Church in the Fall of 2006.

Vintage Church was originally a church plant of Heartland K10 (now known as 'Redemption Church', currently located in Olathe, Kansas), which was established by Pastors Kevin Cloud and Tim Suttle. Heartland K10 planted Vintage Church with the hope of establishing a church with similar values as its own in the Lawrence area. Redemption Church itself is a church plant of Heartland Church in the Kansas City area.

Beliefs

Vintage Church upholds the historic creeds of the Church, specifically the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed.

Vintage Church is committed to the authority of God in scripture, and seeks to root its understanding and application of the Bible in the cruciform character of Jesus as the exact representation of God’s heart, mind, character and being, through the grace and power of the Holy Spirit. They seek to unite around Jesus’s life, ministry, teaching, victory over sin and death, and around the foundational convictions of the historic Christian faith.

On all other matters they encourage loving conversation in the context of community and welcome respectful disagreement in the process. They have a wide range of thoughts and perspectives on a variety of doctrinal specifics, but try to hold those views with open hands, not requiring everyone to stand in unilateral agreement on them as a litmus test for involvement in the Vintage Church family.

Services

Vintage's services appeal to a wide ranging demographic, with folks representing all age ranges. Services are held on Sundays at 10:00am.

The worship service itself is characteristic of most Protestant churches, typically incorporating a time of musical worship, communion, public reading of scripture, and teaching, followed by a closing benediction. And while Vintage isn't a "liturgical" church, it does utilize the church calendar from December - May.

Sacred tradition is a theological term used in Christian theology. According to the theology of the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Assyrian churches, sacred tradition is the foundation of the doctrinal and spiritual authority of Christianity and of the Bible. Thus, the Bible must be interpreted within the context of sacred tradition and within the community of the church. The Anglican and Methodist churches regard tradition, reason, and experience as sources of authority but as subordinate to scripture – a position known as prima scriptura. That is in contrast to the Lutheran and Reformed traditions, which teach that the Bible alone is a sufficient/infallible basis for all Christian teaching – a position known as sola scriptura.
