"If I could say one thing about The Vineyard, it's that I feel accepted right where I'm at. ... no one at the Vineyard expects you to have it "all together"; the more I learn about God, the more I learn He's the same way. I have the grace to be changed". Adam Barnes

Andy and Noreen Fauss

Andy and Noreen Fauss have pastored the Vineyard Church since 1996. What strikes people most about Andy is how low key and down to earth he is. He works hard to keep the things real and natural and relevant (unless he's talking about golf).

Noreen is one of the easiest people to talk too, she is someone who really understands the mercy of God to meet you where you're at. God met her at an outreach event, near her home in north side Chicago. That event was led by Joe Fauss, Andy's father who had started a missions organization called Calvary Commission. Noreen later moved to Texas to work with Calvary Commission It was there that she met Andy. Noreen co-leads our Celebrate Recovery group for those who are struggling with addictions.
