What is The Vineyard?

The Vineyard is a retreat facility located in Ariton, Alabama, about 30 minutes west of Dothan, AL. This year our group will go to the Vineyard for a weekend retreat to get away and learn more about what God thinks about us, how He values us, and how we can grow in our relationships with Him and others. We are planning for lots of fun and we hope you will decide to go with us. Please contact Neal if you have any questions.
