At Clarksville Vineyard, we believe the Holy Spirit empowers every believer to serve, lead, and love others.

No spectators here — just real people using their gifts to build up the church and bless the world.  Explore our ministries and find your place to grow, give, and make a difference.

      Alpha

      Alpha

      Alpha is a series of interactive sessions designed to explore the basics of the Christian faith in a safe and welcoming environment. Each week, participants gather to share a meal or light refreshments, watch a short talk on a key topic of faith, and then join in small group conversations. These groups create space for open and honest discussion, where no question is off limits and every perspective is valued. Alpha is a place where you can wrestle with the big questions of life, explore what you believe, and hear from others who are on the same journey.

      The standard Alpha course is open to anyone, regardless of background or experience with church, and includes free childcare with each program. In addition, Alpha offers a youth version tailored for students and an online option for those who prefer to participate from home. As part of the global Alpha movement, thousands of churches around the world host Alpha every year. You can learn more at alpha.org

      . Participation is free, with childcare provided for certain programs, and we’d love for you to join us.

      Small Groups

      Small Groups

      Small Groups are the heartbeat of our church, creating spaces where real friendships and spiritual growth can flourish. Meeting in homes and other settings throughout the week, each group provides a place to share life together, study Scripture, and encourage one another in faith. Groups are designed to be welcoming and relaxed, giving you the opportunity to build meaningful relationships while growing in your walk with God.

      Most groups follow a simple format that includes time for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. Some may also share meals, serve in the community, or gather around shared interests. While not every group provides childcare, many do, and all groups are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for families and individuals alike.

      Small Groups are open to anyone—whether you are brand new to church, looking to deepen your discipleship, or simply wanting a place to belong. Participation is free, with childcare provided where available, and we’d love for you to join us.

      Men's Breakfast

      Men's Breakfast

      The Men’s Breakfast meets every Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. in the south auditorium of the church building. We begin with a hearty four-course breakfast and time to connect with one another over a good meal. After some casual conversation, we gather around God’s Word, moving book by book and chapter by chapter. Each week, a portion of Scripture is played audibly, and together we reflect on what has been read. Discussion is open and engaging, allowing men of all ages and backgrounds to share insights, ask questions, and encourage one another in faith.

      The morning always concludes with prayer, as we lift up one another’s needs and support each other in our daily walk with Christ. Afterward, there’s often time for more fellowship as schedules allow. Men’s Breakfast provides not only spiritual growth but also meaningful relationships and accountability. Participation is free with no childcare provided. 

      Come hungry—both physically and spiritually—and join us this Saturday.

      Bloom

      Bloom

      Bloom is a welcoming space for women to grow together through the study of God’s Word. Each session focuses on a specific book of the Bible, using a verse-by-verse format that encourages depth and clarity. Weekly gatherings include a short teaching, meaningful discussion, and dedicated time for prayer. Our small groups provide a safe and encouraging environment to ask questions, share insights, and learn from one another in community.

      To prepare for your group time, we encourage you to complete the weekly reading assignment and corresponding questions on your own. Everyone is invited to join the discussion, but you can relax knowing that no one is ever called on or put on the spot. At Bloom, we focus on the simplicity of the gospel and offer extra support and encouragement for those who are just getting started in their faith.

      Whether you are new to Christianity or have been walking with God for years, Bloom is designed for women of all ages and seasons of life. Participation is free, with childcare provided, and we’d love for you to join us.
