Courses
Alpha Course
Who is it for? People who are looking to explore the Christian faith
The Alpha Course is for people who are looking to explore what the Christian faith is all about. The course is normally run over the period of 10 weeks. We usually begin with a meal and hearty conversations, then we listen to a lecture on DVD and then we break into smaller groups where people are encouraged to ask questions and debate over the subject matter of the lecture.
The course is completely free, including the meals!
This is an opportunity for you to discover and build a relationship with God. There are no obligations or strings attached. It is our deep desire that you have a real encounter with God and it is a blessing for us when you discover the truth for yourself!
A Place To Belong
Who is it for? People who want to know more about the Vineyard
If you would like to find out more about the vision and values of the Vineyard in Yeovil, we would like to invite you to an evening with the Vineyard leadership.
It is a very informal event that takes place on a weekday evening and includes a talk and a light buffet. There will be lots of opportunity to get to know people and ask questions.
In the Beginning Course
Who is it for? People who who feel like they do not fit in or don't know who they are, who have been hurt in relationships or feel stuck.
We are all broken to some extent, and broken, hurting people tend to hurt others. There are many symptoms, but it will be something like feeling that you do not fit in, or that you are not good enough. Others feel stuck in a rut and unable to move forward in life. You might be unable to answer the question: Who am I?, having no sense of self or suffering from a bad self-esteem. Yet others will feel an intense need for belonging and acceptance, yet not finding it anywhere despite their best efforts.
We examine the significant relationships of the past, including parents, siblings, peers or other authority figures to find the root causes of why we feel as we do. We then invite God's Spirit to minister into the brokenness and bring healing to us.This is powerful stuff and could be life-transforming or bring significant healing into your life.

Pre-Marital Training
Who is it for? People who are planning to get married and want to equip themselves with real life skills.
None of us are born with inherent skills for conducting successful relationships. We learn to love and trust through environmental influences ranging from our parents to television. The lessons we learn this way are often more of a hindrance than a help!
Don't leave it to chance. You can develop life skills that will enable you to handle conflict, to overcome obstacles and to build real intimacy that will last a lifetime.
God has a purpose for marriage, it is an integral part of His design for humanity. We will explore God's design together and build up communication and conflict resolution skills, as well as examine some practical issues that help you to plan for success.
Marriage Course
Who is it for? People who have been married a while and want to improve their relationship.
We go through a series of activities that are designed to get us to talk again, to reconnect or enhance the relationship we already have.
Sometimes we only stay together "for the sake of the kids", but it does not have to be that way. Marriage is meant to be a rich, fulfilling experience that is shared. This course is aimed at regaining what was lost, or you you still have it, to fan the flame of true love within the framework of God's purpose for marriage.
Divorce Recovery
Who is it for? People who have been separated or divorced.
We know that divorce can be devastating, but did you know that unmarried couples who separate, go through exactly the same pain and devastation as if they were married?
We look at the process through which we go as we mourn the death of a relationship. It helps us to realize that what is happening to me is normal and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Divorce is painful and we need healing from it. This course is aimed at bringing some healing into the present and building on a hope for the future.
