How it all started...
Legacy Vineyard Church was birthed when Ed and Molly Loughran launched a small group at their home in Lockport, Illinois while attending the Evanston Vineyard Church.
Soon after the group started, Ed and Molly realized two things. Firstly, that people from our area were not willing to regularly take the one hour (each-way) commute to join them for church in Evanston. Secondly, it became readily apparent that people here were looking to them as their pastors and leaders. Shortly thereafter, the vision to plant a church in the Joliet- Lockport area was confirmed in their own hearts and minds, as well as their leaders in the Vineyard Movement and in the hearts of those who later became the core group of people to start the church.

Expanding the vision...
Over the years, we have been able to serve in many countries and communities to continue bringing the Kingdom of God, moving as the Father moves. We are excited to be a part of the Lockport community as our home base, empowering others to do the same. Creating Kingdom Building Disciples to go out and do the work of Jesus.
Where we are headed...
As things have drastically changed for the church in these tumultuous times, we believe it is more important than ever to find your tribe of people to do life with. We at Legacy Vineyard Church will continue fostering environments where people can become Kingdom Building Disciples for Jesus with the goodness, love and power of God.
