POCATELLO — Christ’s Love Vineyard is inviting the community to celebrate Easter weekend with two events — a free Good Friday organ concert and a Sunday morning worship service — at its historic church building at 309 N. Garfield Ave. in downtown Pocatello.

The Good Friday concert begins at 6 p.m. Friday and runs approximately one hour, coinciding with Pocatello’s monthly Art Walk. Admission is free, though attendees are encouraged to bring a canned food item to donate to local homeless services.

“We just like to donate to the homeless and help people out,” said Dustin Andrew, lead pastor of Christ’s Love Vineyard.

The concert will be performed on what Andrew describes as the oldest working pipe organ in Idaho — a 120-year-old instrument housed in the congregation’s 1904 building. It will be performed by a group of local LDS organ enthusiasts known as the “Old Organ Guys,” who regularly play at the church during Art Walk events.

“It just sounds so beautiful,” Andrew said. “We encourage people to come and watch.”

On Sunday, the church will host its Easter worship service at 10:30 a.m., preceded by complimentary coffee and donuts from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. A fellowship hour with snacks follows at approximately noon.

Christ’s Love Vineyard is a Spirit-filled church in the Vineyard tradition, known for its emphasis on contemporary worship. The congregation features two worship teams and a full band with piano, drums and guitars, and offers children’s church and toddler care during services. Sunday services are also livestreamed on the church’s Facebook page.

“We are a very welcoming, loving church, very family oriented,” said Kimberly Andrew, pastor at Christ’s Love Vineyard. “I think almost anyone that comes to our church is going to feel welcomed and noticed and invited in.”

The church’s motto reflects that openness.

“Come as you are — everyone gets to play,” Kimberly Andrew said. “There’s a place for everyone and we really like our congregation to get involved. It’s not just about being a leader to get to do stuff at the church. Everyone plays a part in making a church successful.”

The congregation relocated to its current building — situated just behind Pocatello High School — about 10 months ago after outgrowing its previous Bench Street location. The building is listed with a historical association, and the church is currently pursuing a grant to fund exterior restoration.

“We were outgrowing that 5,000-square-foot building,” Dustin Andrew said. “This one dropped in our lap, so we took a chance and we bought it, and here we are. There’s a lot of work to do. We’ve slowly been working on the inside as long as finances provide.”

Beyond weekend services, Christ’s Love Vineyard hosts a Tuesday night youth group, Wednesday night Bible study, Monday night Alpha — a Christianity 101 course — and a Thursday Christian 12-step recovery group. The church also houses a longstanding noon AA meeting Monday through Friday, along with weekly Al-Anon and Overeaters Anonymous gatherings.

“We have a lot of people that have come out of addictions,” Kimberly Andrew said. “We just really invite these people in and want to love on them and help them know that this is a place where they can get healed and whole.”

The Good Friday organ concert begins at 6 p.m. and the Easter Sunday service at 10:30 a.m. Both are open to the public. Christ’s Love Vineyard is located at 309 N. Garfield Ave.
