Due to a decrease in water flow in the Waipara River over the weekend, we are currently unable to supply fresh water to the Waipara Swimming Hole. As a result, the Swimming Hole will remain closed until significant rainfall raises the river level again. We appreciate your understanding.

We absolutely loved hosting Grace Vineyard Youth for an unforgettable night of campfire fun and an exhausting game of capture the flag.

It was a truly epic evening, surrounded by 60 vibrant young people gathered around the glow of the campfire as shared about, how God speaks to us not just in booming voices and epic moments, but often in the gentle whispers that beckon us to listen closely. The night was brimming with warmth, laughter, and meaningful conversations. It was a night to remember!
