Hello and welcome to the RHVC website.
RHVC is simply one thread in the rich tapestry of the historic and global Church of Jesus Christ. Everyone is welcome at RHVC and we hope our paths will cross very soon as we seek to engage and love people in Richmond Hill and the surrounding area.
Blessings! - RHVC Staff
Planting in March of 2010 and pastored by Frank and Hannah Oesterheld, the Richmond Hill Vineyard Church (RHVC) was born out of the Vineyard Church of Savannah (VCS) which is still pastored by Kent and Janna Moore. In 2003, both the Oesterheld and the Moore families moved from Augusta to plant VCS. Frank served as the associate pastor to Kent and VCS from the very beginning, initially serving as the worship pastor as well.
Over the years many families from the Richmond Hill and surrounding areas had been a faithful part of the church in Savannah. It became apparent that God was laying the foundations for RHVC and in true church planting fashion, a church in Richmond Hill was born. RHVC has been blessed and commissioned by the Vineyard Church of Savannah and the Association of Vineyard Churches.
We are currently sharing a location with New Life Church located at 16252 Hwy 144 East. We meet at 5:00pm every Saturday with home groups and small groups meeting during the week.
RHVC seeks to honestly engage and love people, just as Christ first loved us. We value the Bible as God's final Word and the unique authority it has in our daily lives. We value clear, applicable teaching from the Bible. God speaks to us first and foremost through His established Word.
We value the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, through whom God empowers us to not just read the bible, but to truly live what it says. We value relationships that are real, transparent, expressive and genuine. Relationships that we experience first with God and then with one another in healthy community.
We value real, meaningful connections with the orphan, the widow, and the poor no matter how they've come to find themselves in that season of life.
Our service begins at 5pm and lasts roughly 75 minutes or so, no rush, then followed by a meal together. We also have signage pointing to where you can register your children safely for their age appropriate classes.
Come and join us for a time of singing, teaching, prayer and hanging out with each other as we experience the presence of God in each of these.
We are a "come as you are" kind of church so just be yourself and know you're in a safe environment and among friendly people.
Dress is casual. We also have 2 small groups that meet during the week.
We are originally from the West Coast, Frank is from Southern California and Hannah is from Eastern Washington. Both having a military background that brought us to the East coast, we met each other in Augusta, GA in 1999. It was during that time we both started attending the Vineyard Church of Augusta.
A few years later Frank began an internship as a worship pastor. We've been happily married since 1999 and have 5 children from a teenager all the way down to a baby.
In 2003 we felt called to move from Augusta, GA to help plant the Vineyard Church of Savannah with lead pastors Kent and Janna Moore and we've been in the area ever since. Frank has a B.A. in History from Maryland and graduated from the Vineyard Leadership Institute in 2006, also being ordained that same year.
Hannah, in addition to pastoring with Frank, is a Youth and Children's pastor and a work-at-home-mom. We've been enormously blessed with a wonderful group of leaders who already live in Richmond Hill to help us plant this church. We love our church and the close bonds that have formed through the ups and downs we've encountered together. We look forward to what God has for us over the years to come.
We are orignally from North Carolina and have been happily married for 11 years with 3 beautiful children. We've been serving on staff with churches in the Vineyard since 2003 and we've been involved with 3 church plants as well as a "re-boot" since 2000. Jason was ordained in 2005 by the Vineyard Church and graduated from the Vineyard Leadership Institute in 2009.
We moved to Savannah in July of 2006 and began attending the Vineyard Church of Savannah. In 2007 Jason began serving on staff part-time at VCS as worship pastor and NiCole was heavily involved in teaching and working with G.O. Kids (the childrens ministry at VCS). We felt strongly lead to come with Frank and Hannah when this church plant became a reality and have served here since day one. Currently Jason is a stay-at-home dad and works for our church part-time as Associate Pastor and Worship Pastor, while NiCole works full-time as Physical Therapy Assistant in home health. We love this church and look forward to seeing the rest of this story unfold.
Worship is not music. Music is only one expression from the heart of a worshipper. We believe worship is the posture of our heart as we live in response to all that God has done. Worship is expressed to God from every aspect of our lives, as we honor Him and love our neighbor. Worship is not confined to Sunday mornings or church meetings. In light of that, we believe worship should be expressed both individually and together as a community. Worship is intentionally choosing to honor God with our decisions in the midst of everyday life, in times of joy and triumph as well as suffering and sorrow. We believe that no matter what happens, God is faithful, just and good so we respond in worship with hearts full of gratitude as we love God and love our neighbor in every season of life.
We believe in serving from a place of relationship. A great way to start building relationship is serving together. If you are a musician, vocalist, or like to work with electronics

So, what is a "Vineyard" church?
From the beginning in the early 80's, Vineyard pastors and leaders have sought to hold in tension the biblical doctrines of the Christian faith with an ardent pursuit of the present day work of the Spirit of God. Maintaining that balance is never easy. The "Horizons" video above is a brief introduction and summary of the history of the Vineyard movement. It's a great compilation of "snapshots" if you will.
Nearly 30 years later, there are more than 1,500 Vineyard churches worldwide, 600 in the US and actively planting churches across the country. Not all Vineyard churches are the same, but they do all share essential elements of Christian doctrine and practice. Since the beginning Vineyard Music, documented by www.vineyardmusic.com , has helped thousands of churches experience intimacy with God through singing and teaching on worship.
The Vineyard's journey has not been a straight path. It winds through many trials and triumphs. For more info or to find our Statement of Faith, please visit www.vineyardusa.org .
