About

Our Mission

Our mission is to build people who are world changers. We help individuals grow in character, capacity, and calling, advancing the Kingdom of God through spiritual formation and practical empowerment.

Our Story & Vision

Formed in 1991, Christian International Church (formerly True Vine Christian Center) is a presence-driven church and living expression of God’s heart to heal, restore, and reproduce His life in people.

Located in Lincoln Park, NJ, we serve as:
A City of Refuge in our region, a place of safety and renewal for all who come seeking hope.
A House of Restoration, helping people rediscover their identity and purpose in Christ.
A Community of Reproduction, equipping believers to multiply the life of Jesus in others.
Our calling is both spiritual and practical: meeting needs, strengthening families, training leaders, and raising up difference-makers who reflect God’s excellence, build His Kingdom, and carry the power of the Holy Spirit to make a lasting impact in homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and beyond.

Our Values

We center our lives on the reality of one God–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–revealed fully in Jesus Christ, our source and Savior.

We anchor ourselves in God’s inspired Word, our foundation for truth, faith, and everyday decision.

Every person is created in God’s image and deeply loved. We welcome, honor, and walk with people toward wholeness in Christ.

We celebrate the transforming grace of Jesus. Through His death and resurrection, we receive forgiveness, new life, and the Holy Spirit.

We grow best together. We make a difference together. We pursue unity, belonging, and spiritual growth as one family in Christ.

To know Him and make Him known. We reflect Jesus by sharing His love, serving others, and bringing hope to our world through active compassion and the transformative power of the Good News of Jesus Christ.
