Sunday AM @ The Vine
Relevant Worship (Our 10 AM Sunday Morning Gathering)
Our Worship (singing) to God expresses our heart of gratitude, adoration and love for God as well as our desire to be different. The music allows each person to enter in as they are comfortable and engage God. People are encouraged to share with God what is on their heart and encourage God’s work in their lives.
Messages with Meaning (Our 10 AM Sunday Morning Gathering)
Our Sermons are designed to communicate spiritual concepts in real life ways. The sermons are not only for Sunday inspiration, but show us how God makes a difference each day of the week. People are encouraged to learn, grow, and develop in spiritual insights to a point where God is vital everyday.

Other Ministry Opportunities @ The Vine
Growth Group Ministry
A variety of small groups meet in homes throughout the week. Groups include mother of preschoolers, women, men, young marrieds, and parents as well as other topical studies. With most ages and stages represented in our small groups, people connect easily with others and enjoy this time together. These groups care for one another through kindness and prayer. Discussions also allow people to connect with God. For more information visit the Growth Group page.
Outreach Ministry
Community Outreach Ministry
Our church does a number of different activities to show people that God still loves and cares for them and has a purpose for every life. We enjoy participating in such community events as the Fourth of July Community Service, Fourth of July Parade, Christmas tree Lighting, and The Fall Festival. We sense that the Lancaster/Depew communities are some of the best communities in Western New York. We desire to come along side our community, schools, and families to provide a vibrant spiritual component to our great community.

Sunday before Worship
We encourage you to come to service a few minutes early and spend time in prayer for the morning. If you are interested in meeting with a group of people to pray before service, see Barb Kaczmarek.
Discipleship Groups
Discipleship groups meet once a week. A discipleship coach works alongside one or two other people, working through the Discipleship Training material by Dr. Charles Lake. This is a program for Christians who want to further their walk with God. We also have opportunities for new Christians through the Alpha program, as well as advanced discipleship for those who are interested.
