Dr. MLK Nonviolence Training

Westerville Campus

Right now, our society is grappling with political polarization, social injustices, and global uncertainties. And as Christians, it can be confusing and frustrating trying to figure out what our individual and collective roles look like in all of this, especially in a way that best represents Jesus.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy of nonviolence walks hand in hand with the teachings of Jesus and serves as a powerful reminder and tool that the use of proactive peaceful means can bring about understanding and change. This training will help disciple our church in how to seek out and respond to the challenging cultural, political, and justice issues of our day.

The In Between Podcast

Rebuilding

The dream of a multiethnic, united community where everyone reflects the image of God is a beautiful one. But as with any kind of real community work, it takes effort and perseverance. That’s why we engage in conversations and actions that help build and strengthen relationships across cultures, because we want to be a part of creating a kingdom-shaped community.
Join us in a frank and beautiful conversation about the layers we all have and what it feels like to walk into a room when you're not sure how you fit.

Vineyard Core

Your pathway to discipleship

Vineyard Core is our discipleship tool that’s framed around our mission to develop multiethnic communities of disciples who experience God, love one another, and partner with Christ to heal the world.

There are six pathways in Core. Each pathway begins with a set of three brief videos that ask and answer some important questions: Why does this matter to me? Why does this matter to God? And what does the Bible say about this? You can watch these anytime that works for you.

To access these videos, create an account at Vineyard.Online.

There are more scriptures in the Bible about money than there are about prayer and faith combined. Yet the percentage of Christians that actually manage their money using Biblical wisdom is relatively low. FreedUp offers culturally-current resources to help guide and equip believers to manage money in healthier ways, through Biblical wisdom.

Join us for this 6-week course at Pickerington Campus from Jan. 22nd through February 19th at 6:30pm. Childcare provided.
