Spiritual Growth at The Vine

At The Vine, want to follow Jesus together through holistic discipleship:

The ways we focus on this is by growing in our relationship with God, becoming healthier humans, and cultivating healthier engagement with the world.

Growth Groups 2025

The Growth Track is an 8-week journey designed for those who want to go deeper in their faith, exploring how we experience God and ourselves. 

  • It begins with a Kickoff Workshop (Sept 25), where we’ll explore the frameworks that have shaped our view of God and self, and what it means to become more like Jesus. (You’re welcome to attend even if you’re unsure about committing to the full eight weeks.)

  • Each week, you’ll meet with your Pod (2-4 people) to process, pray, and explore how your view of God, yourself, and your inner world shapes your spiritual life.  

  • We’ll also gather as a group after church for brief lessons four throughout the eight weeks to explore the upcoming themes, and learn practical ways to shift how we engage with God and ourselves by integrating spiritual formation with an understanding of how our brains work. (Oct 5, Oct 19, Nov 2, Nov 16)

Through guided reflections and meaningful conversations, you’ll learn to bring all parts of yourself into God’s presence, experience His love more fully, and grow in following Jesus together.


Our Spiritual Growth Ministries at the Vine have a few distinctives:

  • Integrated - we seek to experience spiritual power expressing itself in integration

  • Third Way Spaces - we seek to create a place of safety and inclusion where individuals can explore their beliefs

  • Facilitate connection with God - we seek to reinforce an individual's connection with God (rather than dependency upon a teacher or leader)

  • Experiential - we seek to experience God's truths rather than simply learning or studying

  • Relational - we look for God to move and grow us through relationships

  • Processing & Practicing - learning is not growth; we seek to process and apply what we learn in order to grow
