Mission Statement:

The Vine exists to connect the youth of Colorado Springs to Christ's love by providing a safe and fun environment for discipleship and building community through partnering with the church.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

We are a non-profit, nondenominational Christian organization. Our core values are below:

Joy
Through the contagious joy of the Lord walls and barriers will be broken to bring forth hope and transformed hearts.
Isaiah 35:5-6,10, 55:10-12 John 15:11

Relationships
We desire to develop strong relationships through fellowship, service and encouragement that will be reflective of Christ’s love.
Genesis 2:18 Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 John 13:35 Romans 12:9-13
Ephesians 4:1-7 Hebrews 10:24-25 1 Peter 1:22 1 John 2:10

Faithfulness
We are committed to being faithful to the work God has set before us. We will diligently continue to build up the talents, gifts and passion we have already been infused with to increase our faith so that we will be more effective in sharing the gospel.
Proverbs 16:6 Malachi 2:6 Acts 20:24

Youth
Youth are bold, driven, energetic, creative and full of potential. Our youth are looking to be influenced and we are here to help them discover how to use their God given attributes to impact the world, for Christ.
Ecclesiastes 12:1 1Samuel 16-17 Psalm 71:15-18 1 Timothy

Kingdom Minded
As we set our minds on things above we are committed to building God’s kingdom through proclaiming Christ and making disciples.
Matthew 28:18-20 Acts 5:14 Colossians 3:1-3

Development
We strive to help support the youth as they develop in their relationship with Christ through teaching, encouraging, preparing, leading, and building.
Romans 12:1-2 1Peter 2:1-5 2 Peter 1:5-8

Unity
We are dedicated to promoting a unity of the body of Christ across denominations by collaborating with local churches and being a resource to connect your youth to a faith community.
Act 2:42-47 John 17:20-23

Program History:

The Vine was founded in 2012 and incorporated with the State of Colorado. We launched our first program in April of 2013. We are recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) exempt organization.

Events:

Our main programs include Friday Fun nights, one to two times per month during the school year. These events are organized and planned by our youth leadership team and range from nerf war nights, to sports nights, to holiday/seasonally themed events. We also hold weekly Bible studies for junior high and high school students year round. During the summer, we do park days, hikes, marshmallow roasts and other events where we can get out and enjoy the beautiful weather. Long term, our goal is to have a place Monday-Saturday for students to come after school to do homework, have Bible studies, and just enjoy fellowship in a safe and fun environment.
