North River Vineyard

Youth
Our students join together with the students of Chattanooga Vineyard each Wednesday evening at 7:00pm. This is a great way of connecting with our God and others in a high energy environment.

As Kool and the Gang once sang...

Girls, y'all got one
A night that's special everywhere
From New York to Hollywood
It's ladies night and girl
the feeling's good

Oh yes it's ladies night
And the feeling's right
Oh yes it's ladies night
Oh what a night (oh what a night)

That's right...we have a ladie's night the last Friday of each month. The women of our church get together at someone's home or go out to a favorite pub or restaurant.

We have realized a very important thing . . . life is not all about us. Life in the Kingdom has a lot to do with showing God's love to others. We take this to mean that what we do OUTside our facility is more important than what we do INside it.

We look for opportunities to show God's love to others in practical ways. While in line for coffee we might pay for the customer behind us; if we find out that our neighbor is moving, we try to help out; we even strive to be some of the best tippers to our food servers (30-35%).

Worship is our response to who God is. Our worship service can be described as "casually reverent." "Casual" means don't worry about what you wear or what others might think—we welcome you as you are. "Reverent" refers to our sincerity in approaching God's awesome presence.

Our worship gathering is a blend of rich church tradition with culturally current styles. Through recreated hymns and guitar-driven modern rock, we hope our musical expression of worship inspires people to make a relational connection with God's presence.

We have partnered with other local churches and ministries in adopt-a-block projects. We serve together in specific communities around the city addressing practical needs. Sometimes it means picking up trash or cleaning up someone's yard. We sometimes participate in small home repairs or painting. This is also a great opportunity for prayer ministry.

The work days are on the second Saturday of each month from 10am to noon. In the case of rain the event will be postponed until the following Saturday. This is a great opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a practical way.

Children are so important to our church community that each Sunday we have a special gathering just for them. In addition to teaching a lesson from the Bible, we focus on leading our kids in prayer and worship. And one Sunday each month we spend just playing or creating art! Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is fun!!
