Kids
Vineyard Kids Church opens its heart, arms, and classrooms to kids from 6 months through 5th grade.

In addition to our Sunday classes, our kids get to share their faith through our puppet ministry and worship together with the grown-ups at our periodic family services. For more information, contact Pastor Elaine Brendler.

Mini-Mites (6 months – 30 months)
Jumping Jellyfishes (30 months – 4 years)

Community
Groups
Growing, Caring, Serving
Together
Our society is increasingly disconnected. In groups we learn to relate to one another in a healthy way, following the model of Jesus. We learn study the Bible, we learn to extend grace, we practice spiritual gifts, and we grow in our leadership call.
Facebook and Twitter may help ease our lonely spaces, but being in a small group will heal your heart. And while the loner lifestyle may protect us from getting hurt relationally, we give up SO much. Being in a group who truly cares about you offers both encouragement in times of pain and celebration in times of joy.
Contact Pastor Elaine Brendler for information on our current community groups!
Worship Arts
Worshiping God is the center of our experience together at the Vineyard. God created us to worship Him and respond to His presence. We draw from the rich musical heritage of the Vineyard movement and from other inspired worship resources worldwide as we lift up the name of the Most High God.
Our Worship Ministry consists of our Sunday morning and youth worship teams, our small group and children’s worship leaders, and our outreach worship teams.
Interested in joining a worship team here at the Austin Vineyard? Worship leader training classes are offered twice a year, with mentoring available if desired. Auditions for musicians and singers for any worship team are held quarterly.
For more information, contact Worship Pastor Tony Miller.
