Awana Clubs is a weeknight discipleship program that focuses on Scripture memorization and engaging kids with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Awana meets on Wednesdays nights during the school year from 6:30-8 PM. Each week kids participate in a large group Bible lesson, small group time with a consistent adult leader and their peers, Scripture memorization, and a fun game time around the Awana game circle. If you have a child who is preschool age through Grade 6, we would love to have them join us! Register Now To learn more about our children’s ministry, please contact Megan Winkler . Our Beginners and Preschool/Kindergarten rooms are for kids ages 2 ½ through Kindergarten. They are taught using a curriculum called Brite Preschool . Brite engages preschoolers in engaging, age-appropriate lessons that take the children chronologically through the Bible every year. The lessons help them discover who God is and teaches foundational truths for a lifelong faith. They focus each month on a “Big Question” about the character of God and a Bible memory verse. In our Nursery and Toddler rooms, children from birth to age 2 ½ , are provided child care where they will enjoy music, short Bible stories, and guided play. Every month the Toddler teachers use a condensed lesson from the Brite Preschool curriculum to teach a “Big Truth” about who God is and also read a key Bible verse. Our Grades 1-2 and Grades 3-6 classrooms use the Brite Elementary curriculum to engage elementary-age students with the truths of Scripture by going chronologically through the Bible every year. They participate in a large group time, followed by meaningful crafts, activities, and review games that further enhance the lesson. Each month they focus on a biblical theme about who God is and also learn a key Bible verse.

Walking with Christ is not a journey to take alone, but with others in community. Grace Groups "God led me to Vertical Church back in 2017 as I was going through one of the most difficult times in my life. Over time, several members of the Winkler Grace group invited me to attend their Grace Group, so I finally went. Everyone was so open and friendly. I could not help but be encouraged and drawn into this caring group of people who were so dedicated to loving others and growing deeper in their relationship with Jesus. Over the next 3 years, these same people supported me through my trials and helped to meet my physical, emotional, and spiritual needs in so many ways. I cannot imagine how I would have been able to endure if it had not been for the wonderful people God put in my life through my Grace group." John "Some of our most meaningful friendships and deepest sense of community at Vertical have come through our involvement in a Grace Group. We recently had our second child at 29 weeks and had a lengthy stay in the NICU with her. Our grace group surrounded and supported us through setting up a meal train, childcare for our toddler while we went to the NICU, painting our daughter’s nursery, taking our puppy to the dog park, and so many prayers and words of encouragement. It is even clearer to us why God designed believers to live in community. We were already doing life with this group and when circumstances got challenging for our family, they were some of the first to step in. God has used them over and over again in both of our lives to keep us grounded in Truth and walking faithfully with Him. It is a blessing to walk alongside them!" Megan “I love our small group. Not only do we get to dive into the word, but we have intentional prayer time, deep conversation, accountability, and sweet fellowship. We are able to serve each other in the ways each of us need the most because we’ve really grown to know each other. Community is powerful, and it’s a gift to follow Jesus TOGETHER.” Morgan Testimonials Participation in a Grace Group is the very best way to know others — and be known — at Vertical Church. It could be said that we are a church made up of Grace Groups. Our Grace Groups offer the opportunity for regular life-on-life engagement within the family of God. We strongly encourage everyone who attends Vertical Church to join a small group. We have Men’s Groups, Women’s Groups, and Mixed Groups that meet on different nights of the week throughout the city.

Current Groups Bringing our Community Closer We strive to follow the example set for us by the early church: And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 2:42–47

Women’s Ministry “Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30 Ministry by Women for Women Our mission is to ignite the passion of women in following and glorifying Jesus Christ and to equip women for the work of ministry, moving them toward a deeper walk with Christ and deeper connection with one another (Matthew 28:18–19, Ephesians 4:11–12, Titus 2).
