In Spanish terms, our church, La Vinya Barcelona is big! On a typical Sunday morning, we’re about 400 people, mainly native Spanish (or Catalan!) and then a few internationals like us. For several years we’ve been primarily functioning as a ‘hospital’ church, caring for many (mainly believers) who have arrived at our doorstep and watching how the Holy Spirit has brought transformation and healing to broken lives. 

Alongside our Sunday meetings we have about 30 home groups scattered across the wider Barcelona area where people meet, eat and get to know Jesus and His Family more. We also operate a wide variety of ministries such as a clothes and shower service for people living in vulnerable conditions, a homework club for children at risk of social exclusion, a street evangelism team that shares Jesus and invites people to experience Him and His Kingdom in real and relevant ways, and more.

With awe and excitement at what we’re seeing Jesus do amongst us, our church is preparing to transition into a multi-site church — one church but with two sites. In 2026 we plan to open the second site in a town called Sant Feliu, sharing many resources with the current site whilst creating space for newcomers, opportunities for new leadership and a localised expression of the church.

Our senior pastor openly recognises that the church in Spain struggles to connect with and see conversions of native Spaniards. But, as we believe is happening in other places around the world, the younger generation particularly are looking for meaning and identity and we are excited to have and be able to equip a number of younger people, including many raised here in Catalunya.
