3 Ways to Get Involved

We know it can be intimidating navigating your way in a new community.  Here you’ll find info on some of the many activities, groups, events and service opportunities at the Vineyard.

If you’re new to the Vineyard, we encourage you to check out our “New to the Vineyard?” page.  It is designed to help you discover who we are and how to connect.  If you need help finding your ‘next step’ in the Vineyard, please don’t hesitate to contact us or fill out our contact form.  Coffee (or tea!) is on us!

1) GROUPS: Somewhere to belong

GroupsEveryone needs somewhere to belong.  We recognize that while Sunday mornings are important, they don’t necessarily provide a place to belong.  Relationships are central to everything we do at the Vineyard.  Often they develop organically but there are a number of organized ways to help you find a place to belong.

Home Groups – Small groups that meet regularly in people’s homes for worship, prayer, study, discussion, snacks, friendship, etc.

Youth Groups –  Junior High Youth (grades 7-8), Senior High Youth (grades 9-12).

2) SERVICE: opportunities to give and grow

Love ShadowThere are many opportunities to share in the Vineyard.  Generosity is one of our Core Practices.  Sharing our skills, resources, stories and our time are all part of practicing generosity.  We encourage everyone to find somewhere to serve.  There are many opportunities in the regular communal life of the Vineyard, but there are also many other opportunities in our individual lives.  Both are valid and valuable.  Listed below are a few opportunities to serve the gathered community.

Sunday Gathering – coffee, welcome, projector, sound, musicians

Kid’s Church – gifts for God, group leaders

Prayer Ministry – pray for people

Hospitality – cook, welcome guests

If you have other ideas, please let us know.  We’d be excited to see how your vision, skills and unique gifting can find a place to flourish in the Vineyard.

3) TRAINING: equipping for the journey
