Sharing life with Jesus at the center

As a relationally-oriented church, we believe God does some of God’s best work in the context of relationships. Therefore, we organize and orient The Vine to facilitate the power of significant friendship, building community outside of the Sunday morning experience.

There are many different types of groups meeting throughout Austin – check out available groups at the link below!

LT Nominations

The Vine is in the process of nominating new members to our Leadership Team, The Vine’s form of governance. As a part of this process, we invite you to share a nomination. The deadline for your nomination is November 2.

Jesus at the center is enough to hold us together.

Our Third Way practice is modeled by Jesus who frequently faced social and religious debates and commonly refused to take sides or align with one position or another.  Instead, Jesus modeled an alternative posture — one marked by mercy, inclusion, and love.  We try to follow his lead. As disputable matters arise in our community, we seek to fight the temptation to splinter into smaller groups of sameness or to reduce one another to merely a position. In a world where diverse perspectives often divide us, we believe Christ invites us to lead with empathy, humility and compassion knowing that true unity comes out of diversity.
