Learn about who we are
As friendly as most churches hope to be, it still can be a little frightening visiting a church for the first time! We've done our best to make the Vineyard Church as "user-friendly" as possible. Whatever your background, especially if this is your first visit, we want you to feel comfortable. Lots of first time guests visit us each week. Look for the special first time guest parking as you pull into the parking lot.
Sunday celebrations
Upon arrival, make sure to pick up a program, explaining what you can expect during the celebration. One of the first things you'll notice is the complimentary Starbucks coffee at our coffee bar. You are welcome to bring a cup into the auditorium. You'll also see that everyone is dressed casually. We begin our celebrations with a pre-video followed by some worship. Rather than an organ or choir we have a live band. Most of our music has a pop/rock feel. After a couple of songs, we'll mention a few things that are coming up at Vineyard Church of the Rockies and receive an offering. Usually Rick, our Senior Pastor, will then give a talk. The talk lasts somewhere between 35 and 40 minutes and often includes video clips from movies, stories from people's lives, or dramas. After the talk, you'll have the opportunity to respond to what you've heard through worship or prayer.
After the celebration
Our celebrations run about 70 to 75 minutes. We get a lot of encouraging feedback about how relevant and practical people typically find the talks to be. Our goal is to be "a church for people who don't do church". After the celebration, many people visit with friends around a cup of coffee in our Vineyard Café. You also might want to wander through our bookstore called the Winepress. We hope you'll return for another visit next Sunday or sometime in the future.
