Why Small Groups?
A small group is a
face-to-face gathering of
three or more people where
Truth is processed and
Life is experienced.
We call our directory of small groups the “winepress” — and that’s an appropriate name. The winepress is the place where grapes were processed into wine. In Biblical times the winepress was a large trough hollowed out of limestone bedrock. It would be filled with ripe grapes, and several people, standing on the soft pulp, stomped on the grapes with their bare feet as they sang and shouted (it was a time of great celebration). It was a messy business that turned the skin red and left your clothes marked too. This is what we hope you will find in every small group connected with Vineyard Boise

	A place of community and celebration.
	A place where truth is harvested, shared and thoroughly processed (with our bare feet!) and not just left “on the vine” to admire.
	A place where we are divinely marked by life change that is more than skin deep.

Discipleship Groups
These are groups that are committed to living out the Vineyard
values together — worship, prayer, ministry, reproduction and community. These groups also value tracking with Sunday’s teaching at the Vineyard and processing it together.
