Walking in Freedom
20 April, 2026
Greg Trainor is visiting Compassion Vineyard church once again. Come along for a weekend full of catching the flame from the mantle that Greg carries for the Vineyard in Australia.
Hosting Sunday services, Youth Group, and special events, you'll find all the details you need in the links below.
Greg Trainor is back to continue equipping and encouraging us as we explore what it looks like to walk out our faith in Jesus, in Strathalbyn.
A safe space with no pressure, explore life topics and questions and have a bunch of fun with friends. We play games, offer opportunities to explore and discuss faith and life and have some supper.
Run once a month on the third Friday of each month.
Follow us on social media at @youth_for_strath for more details about the theme for the month.
Every year, the Vineyard National Gathering is a time to reflect, grow, empower, and look ahead to all that the Lord is doing within the Vineyard national body.
2026's gathering will be held from September 30th to October 3rd. More details (including location) and registration links will be released at https://vineyard.org.au/events/2026-national-gathering/
(Times listed here are approximate and based on previous years)
We have various activities and groups meeting during the week on regular intervals (fortnightly or monthly). More details about each one is below. Contact us to get more details if needed.
What is Youth Group?
Held once a month on a Friday night, Youth for Strath invites young people aged 12-17 to hang out in a safe place, have some fun, explore some of life's big issues without pressure or judgment, and get to make friends with other local youth. Each month, there are games, supper, and an opportunity to explore, without pressure, what life with Jesus can look like.

Held in the evenings each week, small groups meet in local homes to grow relationally and share aspects of how they live, with faith at the centre of every day.
Life groups are an ideal way to grow as a disciple/apprentice of Jesus, explore the Bible and what it means, and grow in friendships and support with others. Those attending Life Groups with Compassion Vineyard are encouraged to continue attending regularly. This helps create a safe space for sharing life and ensures no one misses out on the shared understanding from the topic being explored.
