Branch Groups are low-key, fun and socially driven gatherings. They are born out of individuals' interests and passions, and volunteer-led.  There are lots of different options to choose from.  You can get together with a group to pray, do a Bible study, play sports, find encouragment, or just to make some new and lasting friendships. You can explore the groups below. 

Have an idea for a group you'd like to start?  Let us know you're thoughts HERE.

After attending the Alpha course, this group decided to continue to meet, and invites anyone interested to attend!  Together, they explore the Bible, ask honest questions, and learn how to live out their faith in everyday life. No pressure, no homework—just Scripture, conversation, and community as they take the next step forward.

Led by women for women, this group typically covers two studies a year, using Bible and topical studies written by popular Christian authors.  Support and fellowship takes place in the process!

The focus of this women's group is to continue to deepen their relationship with Jesus through the study of the Bible, and to strengthen relationships with each other through times of prayer.

This diverse group of adults meets in the Community Room prior to the Sunday worship service to deep dive into a variety of Biblical topics.  The format is a classroom/lecture style with time for discussion as well.

This is an essential gathering for moms with children ages birth-kindergarten.  Join in with other moms to find encouragement and mutual support.  Child care is included and the coffee is fresh!  MomCo. meets at 9:30 am on the second Tuesday of the month, September through May.

On Tuesday nights this group meets via zoom to pray for the church and other needs in and around our communities as well as around the world. To receive the zoom link please email the church office and we'll send it over to you. 

Stone Soup is an intergenerational group that bands together to cook soup and make desserts that can be shared with anyone!  All proceeds are used to support local and regional partners looking to bless others in the community.If hanging out with a fun group of people, talking, laughing and chopping vegetables interests you, come jump in! We generally cook on the first Sunday of the month at 4:30 pm in the kitchen by the gym.

We also have non-cooking jobs that are needed and can use all skill sets. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Lisa Gopp at lisagopp@gmail.com. Soup orders are distributed on the 2nd Sunday of each month between morning services and after the 2nd service. To order soup for yourself or someone else, click the button below.

The gym is open to play basketball on Saturday mornings.  This is open to all men 18 and older.  There are no pro scouts so there's no pressure.  Just come and play and enjoy hanging out. 

The gym is open to play volleball every other Saturday night.  This is open to everyone 18 and older.  Just come and play and enjoy hanging out.  Always feel free to bring your friends along too! 

Dinner Groups are an opportunity to get to know others at Living Vine over a casual meal.  Groups of 8 adults (and their families) are placed together and commit to gathering for a meal once a month for four months.  What that meal looks like is up to your group--you control the setting, the date, the time and the menu.  Dinner Groups kick off with one big gathering at the church where groups meet each other for the first time, and take place once or twice a year.
