The True Vine Fellowship

Independent of church affiliation, this evangelistic fellowship is a local called out assembly of believers purposed to teach, demonstrate and provide opportunities for evangelism to brothers and sisters in Christ using the Gospel of John. Acting as a non-profit, The True Vine Fellowship (TTVF) assists local churches on the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas to reach out with a common voice to their respective communities with the good news of Jesus Christ.

Our Doctrine

Before going to the cross, Jesus makes the following statement to His disciples: I am the true vine and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me which does not produce fruit He props up, and every one producing fruit He prunes so that it will produce more fruit
-John 15:1-2*

The image of a grapevine with life coursing from Jesus (the true vine) out to His disciples (the branches) in order to produce more life ( fruit) beautifully illustrates the Apostle John’s purpose in writing his account:

Jesus actually performed many other miraculous signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His Name (John 20:30-31).

To this end, the Father acts as the vinedresser to make believers more productive in sharing the life they live in Christ.

Those, who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,… have life in His Name and the opportunity to please their Lord and Savior by abiding in Him and producing more fruit or life for His kingdom through the work of evangelism.
* Living Water: The Gospel of John-Logos 21 Version
(Glide, OR: Absolutely Free Inc., 1996)

Authors write about it; pastors preach on it; teachers teach on it; conference speakers speak on it; evangelists demonstrate it; but ultimately, evangelism requires getting out of our comfort zone and reaching out to others with the good news of Jesus Christ in the marketplaces of our lives. Whether contributing financially, praying, doing administrative work, flipping hamburgers, washing cars, giving away Gospels of John, making video presentations, editing the journal or walking in a parade, the Lord is always lifted up through His Word and the good works of His children. Before departing to be with the Lord, the Apostle Paul exhorts Timothy:

But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry -2 Timothy 4:5

Thanks all those who participate in this fellowship, and especially our Lord who opens every door of opportunity to share Jesus and His message of life. The Lord is good!

Our History

How The True Vine Fellowship Began

The idea for The True Vine Fellowship grew out of a home fellowship Babbette and Frank Tyler hosted in 2012. As evangelists, we needed to develop opportunities for brothers and sisters to reach out to our community with the gospel. At the first, our home fellowship sponsored charity car washes and other smaller events. Then in 2018, The True Vine Fellowship incorporated as a 501 C 3 charitable organization and partnered with other like-minded evangelistic fellowships on the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas.
