This is a holy meal ordered by God to be celebrated in remembrance of His all-powerful love for His people and the miracles provided as He brought them out of Egypt.

Let us gather together for the holy meal on Thursday, April 2 at 6 pm. Please contact Jen Cline for food to bring. jen.cline@vineyardwestside.com. Please RSVP by March 29 for proper food planning.

Sunday Bible Studies

Join any Sunday!! 8am-9:30am in the Loft Room. Join the group for a time of fellowship, discussion, spiritual growth, and scripture study!  No prior knowledge of the Bible is required—just a desire to learn and grow together. Questions? Reach out to Christine Patel (513) 484-3222.

The Greek word ‘sozo’ means to save, deliver, make whole or restore, heal, be whole; and is used in some form over 100 times in the New Testament when Jesus heals someone, be it physically, emotionally or spiritually. SOZO is the ‘full package’ of salvation, healing and deliverance that Jesus came to give people! When you receive a SOZO, you can become whole and walk better in the destiny to which God has called you. If interested in scheduling a SOZO, please contact rose.gebhard@vineyardwestside.com.

What is SOZO?

Do you volunteer/work for a charity that is looking to host an event? We are open! Whether a celebratory dinner or a community educational event/series or a meeting space, Vineyard Westside is interested in building that partnership. Contact jen.cline@vineyardwestside.com.
