Why everything at The Vine is free

Walk into The Vine on any given night and you will see the same thing: middle and high school students laughing, eating, studying, and talking about real life. What you will not see is anyone paying for any of it.

Everything The Vine offers is completely free for students. Hangouts, Bible studies, homework help, snacks, summer outings, and the home-cooked meal at every Bible study: none of it costs a student a dime. We believe a safe place to belong should never depend on a family's budget.

So how does it work? The Vine is supported by people who believe in this mission. Churches, families, and friends across Colorado Springs give so that every student can walk through our doors with nothing but themselves. Every gift, big or small, goes toward keeping the ministry free and the doors open.

If The Vine has been a place of belonging for a student you love, consider giving. You can give online through our giving page, and every dollar helps a student find a safe place, a real meal, and adults who care.

To give, visit our giving page. To see when we gather, check the schedule. Either way, we would love to see you.
