Vineyard affirms that God is one infinite, personal, eternal Being who is holy, righteous, loving, and actively engaged with his creation. God is not an impersonal force but a relational person who desires intimacy with humanity. This relational character of God is central to Vineyard's worship style and its theology of prayer and encounter.

John Wimber's teaching consistently emphasized that God is a good Father who wants to be known and who delights in blessing his children. This shapes Vineyard's expectation that God acts in history, responds to prayer, and heals the sick — a practical outworking of confidence in God's personal care.
