Both services follow the same relaxed rhythm and usually last about 75–80 minutes. Plan to arrive 15 minutes early—especially if you are checking in kids for the first time. Come early, stay late—we’re so glad you want to visit us.
Service One9:00 AM
Service Two11:00 AM
75–80 Minutes. One relaxed, welcoming rhythm at either service.
Our Kids team will help you register your children, answer questions and show you to the right kids area. Nursery, Toddlers and Preschool are at 11 AM only; Elementary is at 9 & 11 AM.
Discipleship is the lifelong adventure of following Jesus: staying close to Him, learning His ways, becoming more like Him and, in the power of the Holy Spirit, doing the things He did.
We live it out in three simple movements: Up toward God, In toward one another and Out toward the world He loves.
01UP
Love God
UP is seeking, knowing and hearing the voice of God. We do this by cultivating lives of Prayer, Worship, Daily Bible Reading, and Fasting.
IN is Fellowship and Followship. We learn the practices of personal and community through spiritual connection, obeying what Jesus says of meeting together and individually.

PRAYERis where movement begins.
03 — Prayer
Our First Response, Not Our Last Resort
Everything Starts With Prayer.
Prayer is more than something we do—it is how we stay connected to God and join what He is already doing. Every disciple-making movement is first a prayer movement.
We believe generosity should carry the hope of Jesus well beyond a Sunday service. Your giving helps fuel practical care, local outreach and ministry beyond our walls.
Clear answers for the things people actually wonder about before visiting—no church-speak decoder required.
What should I wear?
Come as you are—jeans, a dress, a hoodie, work clothes, whatever feels like you. We mainly care that you are here. We do, however, recommend wearing clothes; beyond that, our fashion committee has been permanently disbanded.
When should I arrive?
Plan to arrive about 15 minutes before either the 9:00 or 11:00 service. That gives you time to grab a good cup of coffee, meet someone, check in kids and find a seat without making an action-movie entrance at the last second.
How long is each service—and what happens?
Each service usually lasts 75–80 minutes. We spend about 30–35 minutes in worship, share communion together and hear a practical, Bible-centered message for another 30–35 minutes. We close by making room for prayer and the Holy Spirit—and still respect your lunch plans.
What should I expect if I bring kids?
A member of our Kids team will help you register and check in your children, answer your questions and guide you to the right kids area. First-time check-in takes a few extra minutes—tiny humans, surprisingly, come with logistics. Nursery (0–18 months), Toddlers and Preschool are available at the 11:00 service only; Elementary (K–5th grade) is available at both 9:00 and 11:00.
Will I be singled out because I am new?
No. We will not ask you to stand, introduce yourself or wear a blinking ‘new person’ sign. You can participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable. Friendly hellos are likely; a surprise speech is not.
What is the worship like?
Our worship is passionate, contemporary and focused on making room for God’s presence. You can sing, stand, listen or simply take it in. There is no vocal audition, and no one is grading your rhythm.
Am I expected to give money?
No. Giving is a step for people who call Vineyard Florence home, not a cover charge for walking through the door. If you are visiting, be our guest. The coffee is free and does not arrive with an invoice.
Can I come if I am not sure what I believe?
Absolutely. Questions, doubts and honest curiosity are welcome here. You do not need to clean up your life or finish your theology homework before you visit. None of us has everything figured out—and anyone who says otherwise probably needs more coffee.
Can someone pray with me?
Yes. We make room near the end of each service for prayer requests and personal prayer, and you can also connect with someone afterward. Share as much or as little as you want; God already knows the unabridged edition.
