Bible studies
Relevant and timely Bible studies that meet students where they are, with a home-cooked meal for every participant.
Colorado Springs youth outreach
The Vine connects the youth of Colorado Springs to Christ's love through discipleship, community, and a whole lot of fun. Every student in 6th through 12th grade is welcome, everything is free, and Christ-centered adults are always present.
Help us bring back Monday nights.
A gift toward our campaign goal adds a third night of dinner, community, and fun for students.
Our mission
“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.”
We take our name from John 15:5, where Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” Every middle and high school student is welcome here, regardless of background, social standing, or denomination. No one is turned away, and nothing costs a cent.
What students experience
The Vine gathers two days a week, with Christ-centered adults always present. Here is a taste of what a typical week looks like.
Relevant and timely Bible studies that meet students where they are, with a home-cooked meal for every participant.
Students grow as leaders through mentorship, real responsibility, and plenty of encouragement.
A quiet place, patient adults, and the support to get homework done and feel good about it.
A safe place to retreat, unwind, play, and just be a kid.
Hands-on service projects that give back, plus summer outings students look forward to all year.
Snacks at every gathering and a home-cooked meal at Bible study. No student goes hungry.
