Our mission

Rooted in Christ, built for community.

“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.

Everyone welcome Always free Background-checked adults

What students experience

More than a youth group. A place to grow.

The Vine gathers two days a week, with Christ-centered adults always present. Here is a taste of what a typical week looks like.

Bible studies

Relevant and timely Bible studies that meet students where they are, with a home-cooked meal for every participant.

Leadership development

Students grow as leaders through mentorship, real responsibility, and plenty of encouragement.

Homework help

A quiet place, patient adults, and the support to get homework done and feel good about it.

Games & activities

A safe place to retreat, unwind, play, and just be a kid.

Service & summer outings

Hands-on service projects that give back, plus summer outings students look forward to all year.

Snacks & real meals

Snacks at every gathering and a home-cooked meal at Bible study. No student goes hungry.
