Vineville Presbyterian Church

On Sunday, May 17th, the historic Vineville Presbyterian Church of Macon Georgia, worshiped for the last time in its old life. A congregation which had declined from 600 to less than 60 made the bold and Biblical decision to die to live. The desire of the aging white congregation to reach its now primarily African American neighborhood with the gospel of Jesus Christ prevailed over the instinct to survive. Now in cooperation with a ministry called Campus Clubs, the facility will be rebirthed as Strong Tower Fellowship at Vineville. Campus Clubs is an after school focused ministry whose mission is, “loving kids into the Kingdom, equipping them to live for Christ, and developing positive urban leadership within their communities. We believe that a relationship with God through His Son is vital for the whole child.”

Founder and director of Campus Clubs, Tony Lowden will work with Vineville’s former Associate Pastor in the formation of the new neighborhood focused ministry. The conviction to care for the youth and children of Macon was intensified by a 13 day epidemic of violence last year which claimed the lives of 12 young victims.
