All Programs are Open
It’s ok to have questions and doubts; just join us! All Vineyard Westside, La Vina and City Light programs are open to the public to help people get closer to the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ! Invite your friends!
Please see the Church App Calendar.
What do you want to see happen at VWS? “If you are always keeping blessings to yourself and never learning to pour out anything ‘to the Lord, ’ other people will never have their vision of God expanded through you.” Oswald Chambers. Do not ignore what the Spirit is calling you to share. God is blessing VWS! Contact jen.cline@vineyardwestside.com to organize something.
Psalms and Proverbs Reading
Join Any Time! Tuesdays, 6:30 in the Loft. Following the ifwewill.com plan. What can 80 days of immersing yourself in God’s Word do for you, your family and your church? The Bible shows us that God responds miraculously when people pray together. This is an amazing way to prepare your heart for the new year, and reconnect with God. Reading can happen in the comfort of your own home. Books available, or free download online. With questions, contact Jen jen.cline@vineyardwestside.com or Melissa at melissa.Schwemberger@vineyardwestside.com
Life Recovery Group
Welcoming new members in January 2026. Would you like to find freedom through Jesus? Carrying burdens, resentments, or strongholds such as; guilt, shame, unforgiveness, overeating, overspending, pornography, addictions or any type of life problems can weigh us down, and keep us from a deep relationship with God. Come and join us for a spiritual journey through the 12 Steps. We will be studying 4 Bible studies per Step. Each Step builds upon the previous one. As we learn to surrender to God’s Will, take responsibility for our actions, forgive and be forgiven, and through prayer and meditation, we can experience a Spiritual Awakening. This is a full year commitment, but through it, many have experienced freedom. The freedom to become the people God has created us to be. Contact Melissa or Rick.

What is SOZO?
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.
