Equipped to thrive in every connection
Relationships are both beautiful and complex. We’re here to equip you to navigate them with godliness and grace; whether at work, home, with family, or on a team. We want you to thrive in every connection.
“godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come” — 1 Timothy 4:8
Thrive in every connection
At Vine Church, we’re all about connecting people with Jesus and seeing their lives transformed by the love, life, and freedom He offers.
Our community is built around Jesus, where we support each other in becoming who God intended us to be. We love seeing people grow to be like Jesus, living godly lives that reflect the beauty of the gospel, as we rely on the Holy Spirit’s power to grow and change.
We host a variety of events at Vine Church that dive deep into discussions on living well and honouring God in every season of life. We encourage you to pick the one that you find most helpful. Each of these events provide practical insights and biblical wisdom, focusing on thriving in every connection we make.
These events are also open to people outside our church, whether they are believers or not. While the Christian principles inform part of the sessions, the focus will be on practical skills anyone could implement to strengthen relationships.
Join us as we seek to grow together, honour God, and thrive in every connection we make.

Marriage Enrich: "Marriages don't grow simply because both spouses age. Growth is intentional, demanding and utterly surprising. It requires space and time." - Dan B. Allender
It's essential for couples to set aside dedicated time to strengthen their marriage. Taking a day away in a relaxed setting allows for deepening intimacy, addressing issues constructively, and building habits to sustain love through all seasons of marriage.
To help make it possible for couples with children to attend, we’re offering childcare/children’s programs for ages 0-18 on site at $15 per child. Please register promptly so we can plan for everyone.

- Guest Speaker: Lauren Errington
Healthy Relationships: Whenever we bump up against others, we are faced with the joy and sometimes dilemma of relating.
At this seminar, Lauren Errington will share some thinking from family systems theory about what we are up against in relationships and where our efforts are best directed in working on connecting with others.
Lauren is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Clinical Family Therapist and the Executive Director of the Family Systems Institute. She is interested in the functioning of humans in relationships and the additional wisdom that the study of natural systems theory provides. This awareness of human emotional systems can help us observe and understand ourselves better in relationships.
