The Disciplines

Richard Foster defines spiritual disciplines as, "a means of receiving God's grace. …[They] allow us to place ourselves before God so he can transform us." At the Vineyard, we encourage all believers to engage in the following in a purposeful and regular manner:
• Reading the scripture
• Quiet times with God (the practice of listening)
• Fasting
• Praying
• Giving
• Study and reflection
