Small Groups...

Throughout the week, Vineyard people gather in small groups to experience a more intimate fellowship. Small groups provide the opportunity for us to get to know one another personally, to spend time talking at length about the things of God, to pray for one another, and to experience God’s ministry through others.

Small groups at the Vineyard promote and encourage:

• A personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a commitment to share in His ministry
• Friendship with other Christians
• Love and Service to those inside and outside the church
• Connection to the Vineyard
• Regular interaction with scripture
