College Events

We’ve always got events happening for students throughout the semester!

Listed down below you’ll find the larger student events that we’ve got planned. Follow us on Instagram @vinechurchcollege for updates on events and to see other things our students are up to.

We’d also encourage you to check out one of our small groups! They are a great place to form friendships and get more connected with other college students here at Vine. Groups meet weekly to form real relationships and discuss relevant Bible topics intended to help you grow and live out your faith.
