Join us in practicing the way of Jesus
At Vineyard Gilbert, we believe the invitation of the Christian life is to be an apprentice (disciple) of Jesus: growing in the character and competency of Christ. We believe this spiritual formation is something that happens in community as we intentionally develop sustainable rhythms, both individually and corporately. Things like prayer, silence, solitude, simplicity, and fasting are ways we can submit to the character of Christ being formed in us through the power of the Spirit. Throughout the year we'll be offering different opportunities to grow in different practices.
Our Current Focus
Generosity
May 2025
The Generosity Practice
When Jesus said there is more joy in giving than in receiving, he turned our vision of the good life on its head. Through the practice of generosity, we tap into God’s joy, find freedom from greed through contentment, and embody God’s concern for those in need.
Practice With Others
Practicing the Way of Jesus is something that we do with others, not alone. Transformation does not come through information alone, but through imitation - walking it out together, and learning from one another. Join us on Sunday mornings at 9 - 10 am as we go on this journey of the Generosity Practice together.
