Classes

At the Vineyard, most discipleship takes place within our kinship groups. However, there is a series of classes that we encourage everyone who is a part of Vineyard to take at least once. You can sign up for any of the upcoming classes here.

Our Core Classes:

Discovering Membership (Vineyard 101)

This is our membership class (formerly discovering the vineyard). If you are interested in becoming a member at the Vineyard, or simply learning more about the church, we invite you to come to our next Discovering Membership class.

Discovering Maturity (Vineyard 201)

This class focuses on basic practices that every Christian needs to develop in order to grow to spiritual maturity. Our goal is to equip you with the skills you need to begin these habits and will explain the tools you will need to continue these habits.

Discovering Ministry (Vineyard 301)

One of our core values at the Vineyard is that we are all ministers, meaning we are all called to serve. Although there are many ways to get involved in serving, we believe that for people to serve their whole lives, it is important to serve in areas where we are gifted and passionate.

Discovering Ministry is a 2-week class designed to help people discover where their giftings & passions lie.

Next Class: September 2008
Class Taught by: James Cherian
Prerequisite: Completed Discovering Maturity (Vineyard 201).
