Through the years, the Westside Vineyard Community has experienced God working in our hearts and stretching us to become a church where, among other things, children and youth are really seen through Jesus’ eyes…welcomed in His presence.  We envision a church where we gladly invest our hearts, time, and resources in imparting the knowledge of God and the future of His ministry to the next generations.  It’s our vision to be a church where each successive generation of lives and leaders will be blessed to rise up and reach their own generation.

Since the beginning of this calendar year, our Vineyard pastoral staff has been feeling a uniquely strong stirring in our hearts to serve Jesus' call to the next generations.  We feel that in many ways it's a burden and priority that the Father has deposited into us as leaders in this season. Towards that end, our current Sunday teaching series through June (called "NEXTing" - serving Jesus' call to the next generations) will help us engage more of the Father’s heart for those who are younger than us. Through this series we’ll explore how we (as individuals and the church) are participating in the process of raising up new generations.  How might we be hindering that process?  How might we help that process?

In addition to the series, throughout the month we're asking people to pray for our next generations.  As we pray, we believe that our Father will expand our hearts and shift our minds so we can more faithfully and effectively serve the emerging generations.  And we know that as we pray God hears our cries and answers according to His great love.

A PRAYER GUIDE has been created to help serve you as you set apart time this month to pray.  Through these pages you’ll find prayer requests, encouragements, and portions of God’s written Word…. included to help you approach God’s throne of grace in prayer.

Thank you for partnering in prayer for our next generations!
