GETTING INVOLVED

Life Groups

A loving community awaits you at one of our home groups! Each one has its own personality so you are sure to find a group that feels like home. The all have a good time putting into practice the central values of the Vineyard. Groups meet throughout the week in private homes and at the church facility. There is most likely one near you. Check it out. Contact Amanda Allen at the church.

Welcome to the Vineyard

Have you wondered who we are, where we are going, and why we do things the way we do? Your answers await you at our Welcome to the Vineyard meeting. There you will receive a basic introduction to the values and vision of the Lafayette Vineyard. You will also meet other newcomers, make new friendships and learn how easy it is to get connected. Welcome to the Vineyard is offered once a quarter, usually on Sunday evening. Contact Amanda Allen at the church.

Celebration Meals

On the last Sunday of every month, we have a time of food and fellowship—an opportunity to develop and deepen relationships over a meal. We meet together immediately after the morning service. Everyone is welcome.

Wednesday Night Youth

This time is for Junior or Senior High, Wednesdays 6:30pm to 8:30pm in the Youth Room. Contact Chris or Meagan Clare.
