SMALL GROUPS
Be known. Grow.
Small groups are exactly what they sound like: small gatherings that help us get to know each other and learn to look like Christ together. This is where we grow. This is where we become known. Small groups are the greatest catalyst for living a life with Christ at the center.
You're invited.

ALPHA
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
BETA
Led by Adam Greenwell
Location: Vineyard Church
Designed as a next step class after Alpha, Beta builds on the foundation of Alpha as we explore the adventure of scripture, spiritual gifts, spiritual warfare, kingdom theology, and Vineyard DNA.
COME, HOLYÂ SPIRIT
Led by Jenna Greenwell
Location: Vineyard Church
This four-week course addresses how we maintain a vibrant relationship with Jesus and turn that relationship into service for the sake of others. 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? Using both group sessions and labs in the real world, this course aims to give participants confidence in day to day connection with the Holy Spirit and the people around them. Note: This course combines two former Core Discipleship Courses: Life in the Spirit and Doin' the Stuff.

Time: Sundays @ 5:30pm
Led by Jessica Minow
Location: The Vineyard
RightNow Media course by Bianca Juárez Olthoff

God desires each of his children to follow his call. But sometimes the battles we fight for God’s kingdom defy our expectations, leading us to trust him more deeply. A faithful warrior for Christ will choose obedience over personal glory, humility instead of pride, and truth spoken with grace.

otPANORAMIC
Wednesdays @ 6pm
Led by Adam Greenwell
Location: Vineyard Church
RightNow Media course done by Michael Gunnin.
Small group will go for 7 classes.
Do you struggle with reading the Old Testament? Do you feel like it’s too complex because of all those long names and all those kings, famines and floods, or like it doesn’t apply to your life today? When studying these first 39 books of the Bible, it’s easy to get lost in the wilderness. That’s why we at Walk Thru the Bible want to give you a mountaintop, panoramic view of the Old Testament.
In otPANORAMIC, Michael takes us to the top of 7 of the most famous mountains in the Old Testament (the mountains Moriah, Sinai, Nebo, Tabor, Zion, Carmel, and Gerizim) to help us understand the big picture storyline of God’s Word. He’ll talk about what happened on those mountains, how God intersected someone’s life in a huge way, and why these events are so important to God’s Story and ours, even today.
WOMEN IN TOUCH
2nd Thursdays @ 10am
Led by Linda Sommerville
Location: Vineyard Church
For women of all ages. Join us once a month for "get acquainted" icebreakers, games, and a "Dear WIT" section where we offer our experience dealing with life questions. It will be a fun way to get to know each other better and share how we've worked through life issues. Childcare can be provided with advanced notice.
