Our Mission and Beliefs

  • Vibrant Life Ministries (VLM) is a safe space and welcoming faith-centered community for young adults and the young at heart who are exploring and seeking to find their identities in Christ and in the world.
  • VLM is an inclusive and affirming community that encourages spiritual growth and meaningful connections amongst all regardless of faith journeys, life paths, beliefs, ideologies, and backgrounds.
  • Through worship, small group discussions, mission, community-building, and relationships, we aim to foster those on the road of self-discovery, empower individuals to model their everyday lives as followers of Christ, equip and provide the missional tools and resources for those seeking to make a difference in their communities and to promote the development of living a vibrant life in relationship with Jesus Christ.

Vibrant Life’s Slogan
“Living life with purpose on purpose!”

Vibrant Life’s Grounding Scripture
Matthew 18:20 – “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” (NRSV)

Vibrant Life’s Schedule
The group meets every Wednesday, September-May, in Reveille’s youth center at 5:30 pm. We also enjoy outings and fun activities together each month!
