Vineyard Christian Church of Evanston was started in 1976 as a non-denominational institution called Christ Church of the North Shore. In 1985, the Church joined the Association of Vineyard Churches. The Church moved to their current address on Howard Street in 2004 and spent the next few years renovating the space to accommodate the large congregation.
Vineyard Christian hosts several different ministries, including a children's ministry, an intercessory prayer movement and a youth group.
