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.

The Practicing the Way Course
The Practicing the Way Course is an 8-week class designed to help get you started on the journey of spiritual formation, help you get unstuck if you’ve stalled out, or just guide you into taking your next step. Ultimately, its goal is to train you to live as an apprentice of Jesus: to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did.
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. We are running two cohorts, one in-person, and one online. You can choose what works best for your schedule!
