Process

If you are new to the Mason Vineyard and you are looking to get connected, we are excited.

The process for getting connected could take a few paths for you.

The first stage of Connection looks like coming to church, participating in our worship services and getting to know us.  After you do this a few times (or even your first time), you should attend…

To meet some of our staff and ministry team leaders.

If you have Children (preschool to 6th graders) or Youth (7th to 12th graders) we want to help you connect them to our kids and youth discipleship ministries as soon as possible.

We should say, none of this is a LINEAR process.  You can jump in at any time.  If you have been here for a few years and want to get more involved, GO FOR IT.

If you consider the Mason Vineyard your home church and want to be a part of the family, we are in the process of developing a covenant program to replace traditional church membership.  We want our people to partner together in the Gospel as Paul so eloquently shared with the Philippians.  We want covenant partners who are in it together.  If this sounds like something you are interested in, look for our upcoming ….
