SMALL GROUPS

ALPHA

Wednesdays @ 6pm from 2/7-4/17
Led by Jenna Greenwell
Location: Vineyard Cafe

Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life: Why do bad things happen to good people? What's the purpose of life? What's next?
If you're looking for a judgment-free space to ask hard questions and share your own opinion, there's a place for you.

Fee: None

LIFE IN THE SPIRIT

Every other Tuesday starting February 20th @ 6:30-8pm
Led by Jenna Greenwell
Location: Vineyard Conference Room

This eight-week course is the second in our Core Discipleship Series and addresses the “how” of having a vibrant relationship with Jesus. How do I hear God's voice? How do I know what God is doing with me and those around me? How does God transform me so I might truly love those who are hard to love? After this essential course, participants will have the tools and the knowledge to remain in relationship with Jesus through all seasons of life.

DOING THE STUFF

Led by Adam Greenwell
Location: Vineyard Church

Leaving religion behind, Jesus calls his followers to do the stuff that he did in the places they were called. Because we have the story of God in our lives, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the people placed in our lives, we are equipped to do the stuff Jesus did! This group will explore calling, giftings, power evangelism, and partnering with the Holy Spirit to bring Good News to the poor, proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord's favor has come!

Led by Lloyd & Peggy Detienne
Location: The Detiennes' home near the colleges
