Our Services

Service Times

Saturday

05:30pm - Every other week

What to Expect

What are services like?
Expect it only twice a month every other Saturday from 5:30 - 6:30 and possible invite to dinner or desert afterwards. Expect 3 or so songs, mostly from the Vineyard Music, a 15-20 minute presentation (moderately interactive) from Scripture followed by communion. Often there will be discussions, prayer practice for healing, or some kind of optional activity that gives us room to use our faith. Everyone who comes usually loves the "feel" and environment we have created and continue to create.

What is the community like?
Expect invitation to a community or neighborhood group on alternate weeks of our services where people of different paces in their journey with God will be looking for interdependence. Expect a agile and mobile leadership structure where those leading are there for modeling Christ-likeness and everyone gets to play in the Kingdom activities of every day life where we practice the presence of God.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Expect no judgments or hyper criticism. Expect interest and honest responses to your interests, your questions, and your pace of life. So far, this community is made up of people who represent all kinds of journeys in life. Some of us have come through hard times and others are still in them. We have yet have anyone communicate a bad experience with us in any of our circles regardless of their religious or non-religious background.
