WIDE OPEN BUILDING EXPANSION (2024-2025)

Vineyard Church West began in 2012 with a small group of people that had vision for a church in the Piper area, on the west side of Kansas City. After renting space at Wolcott Baptist Church (built 50 + years ago) for 3 years, we were given the opportunity to purchase the building and land in 2015. Through God’s faithful and abundant provision and the generosity of our church giving toward the building fund, we were able to purchase the land & building where we currently gather.

Our heartbeat is to love and serve the people of our city. We do this partly through opening our facilities for local children, youth, and families throughout the year. During many of these events we have found our current space lacking to accommodate the needs of our church and city. We are now building and expanding our current space to serve our church and city for the next 50 years.


Our building expansion includes:

  • Gathering space in the form of a Welcome Center/Lobby that is two to three times larger than our current Welcome Center. More space to gather and talk.

  • Dedicated student center and gathering space for youth ministries.

  • Additional Kid’s Ministry classrooms.

  • Multi-purpose space for adult Sunday Gathering/Sanctuary that can be used for potlucks, year-round activities, basketball, pickle ball, sports and youth events, after school programs and community events. 

Where will the money come from for the building Expansion?

The Board has decided that the expansion, will be completed primarily through our capital campaign and by borrowing money only if necessary. We are currently debt free, and we are also willing to take on some debt for the sake of advancing God’s Kingdom. We do not want to remain in debt for an extended period of time. Our plan is to pay off any mortgage incurred within 5 to 10 years. We want to free up those monies for ministry and leave a legacy to our children and grandchildren — a legacy of a debt-free facility that will serve as a light to the greater Kansas City area. Check out ways God may provide through us in our A to Z Building Fund Giving Guide here.

We are breaking ground this April 2025!

We are looking to break ground on our building expansion in April of 2025 and are in need of continued pledges over a 3-year period to be able to complete the project with as little debt as possible.

How do you decide what to pledge for the 36-Month Building Campaign?
First, pray. You definitely want God's heart on the matter. Ask God what he has already provided for you to contribute and to provide more for you to contribute to this effort. 
Second, ask yourself what a sacrificial gift would look like for you. What are you willing to sacrifice to see God's vision for Vineyard Church accomplished in this generation?
