Warm, welcoming, open, accepting…
NO PRESSURE to do anything specific...laid back but totally devoted to Jesus if that’s you...wear jeans (with holes in them, if you want!), wear flip flops, wear shorts...dress up...doesn't matter!
The friend who started taking me there said it was "come as you are" and she did not lie!
GENTLE reminder about giving...right before service and after the live music...just a reminder and a QR code to scan if you'd like to do that! They are very hip and hi tech! :)
NO PRESSURE! There’s none. But you’ll want to give. They have really great events, and so much more...look at the website!
Pastor Ben is very kind and funny and wise, and he has a soothing voice! His sermons are SO easy to relate to and apply IRL if you’ll work at it; he knows just how to skillfully bring it all back around to Him. There are “guest speakers,” too.

The welcoming was wonderful as was a great free cup of coffee and doughnut to help ease the tension of a new place.
Afterwards I prayed with two people and was escorted afterwards to meet the pastor. I had an issue to discuss and pastor Ben scheduled a meeting with my fiance and I the next week.
I am so grateful to have found a church home that is both welcoming and provides an amazing teaching each week.
I highly recommend the Vineyard Austin as a church home for singles, youth, families and...
