Our Story
We believe God is already at work in our neighborhoods — and we’re just trying to keep up! After 13 years of loving life here in Orangevale, Paul and Stef Spangler sensed God’s nudge to help plant something new: a joy-filled community of faith right where they live, work, and play.
Our sending church is Vintage Grace in El Dorado Hills, where Paul has been serving as a Church Plant Resident this past year — praying, training, and preparing to be part of their growing family of churches in the region.
We started small last fall with Life Groups — simple spaces where people grow deeper with God, build real friendships, and live as everyday missionaries in Orangevale. These groups are the heartbeat of what God’s doing — and it’s just the beginning.
Our prayer is to see a church family grow here: one that laughs a lot, loves well, and lives with the kind of joy only Jesus can give. And we’re trusting that God has invited us to launch weekly Sunday Gatherings in Spring 2026!
Vintage Grace is all about Joy in Jesus for every journey — and we’re thrilled to see how He’s writing a new chapter of joy right here in Orangevale.”
Mission
We encourage people to enjoy God together.
Vision
We are passionate about building joy filled communities of faith, who is very existence inspires individuals to live in abundant Christian life, made up of three key relationships: a deepening relationship with God (R1), a life changing relationship with others (R2), and an engaging relationship with those to believe (R3).
Values
1. More Joy in Jesus
It’s easy to settle for less with our tempting world, but we believe there is more joy in Jesus than anything else. Simultaneously, our Joy cannot be dictated by difficult circumstances but rather the fact that if we live it’s for Christ, and if we die it’s our gain. We believe that true happiness is found in a lasting relationship with Jesus.
2. Biblically Saturated
Everything we do as a church is informed by God’s Word. We care about the author’s intent, the logic and flow, and proper application. Our heart is that as the church is saturated in Scripture you become Self-feeders who form your life around His Word.
3. Communitas
More than simply belonging to a group, we are a community formed around a common mission. Each Sunday we are SENT as everyday missionaries to be the living proof of a loving God.
4. Living Proof
We are culturally embedded everyday missionaries: God did not create us to isolate ourselves, but rather to live in the world (not of it), so others might see the hope we have in Christ!
5. Embrace Inevitable Tensions
The fallen world and sometimes the text itself bring up tensions. We are NOT God, so we can do our best but won’t fully understand all of His ways until Heaven.
