At the Vineyard, the small group is the best place for sustained life change to occur. The Vineyard Growth Groups are a safe place to meet new people, make friends, grow in faith and have fun.
We are on the semester basis with all new groups starting in the beginning of each semester. Spring semester is February through April. Summer Semester is June though August. Fall semester is October through December.
We are currently working on programming for the winter quarter. Programming will be available for registration at the beginning of January. Groups will begin in February.
Here’s a listing of our growth groups for the Fall semester…
Monday
Girlfriends Unlimited
Leaders: Ellen Colberg and Heather Colberg
GNO centers on bringing women together in casual, fun settings so that they can meet new friends, enjoy time together, serve others, and grow spiritually. We want to reach and connect women, in a way that is filled with fun and energy. We play games, go on adventures, serve our church and community, while watching each woman grow spiritually and emotionally and live with purpose and significance. Invite friends and join us!

Wednesday
A Classic Vineyard Group
7:00pm Leaders: Glenn and Arlynn Oliver
Our group is a pretty cool mix of couples with kids (mostly teenagers) and single guys and gals. Fellowship is a huge part of our group, with lots of food and sharing life together. There is what could be called iWorship, with a wonderful mix of song styles, skillfully put together from a library of iTunes. Our curriculum is the Bible, but we are keen on lively discussion and making it relevant to our lives. The prayer circle is like a family, gathering to lift various needs and concerns to the Father.
The kids are definitely invited. We often have as many, if not more, kids as adults. The ages span elementary age through high school.
Meets @ Peter & Shelley Makohon’s,
15400 Pepperwood Ct Huntersville NC
Mystically Wired: Exploring New Realms in Prayer
7:00-9:00 pm
Leaders: Kevin and Sarah Reed’s
@ 13106 Autumn Trace Drive Huntersville, 28078
We are designed to make connections to God through prayer in more ways than we can imagine.
Prayer can be so much more than a simple conversation. It can be a wordless connection with God, a step beyond the boundary of the separated self. It can be a way to listen to the silence. And it can be learned. We can learn how to pray in ways we never thought possible. It doesn’t take more effort; it takes more understanding.
We’ll be looking at and practicing prayer.
