For the community. For the Kingdom.
In September of 2022 we were blessed to open the doors to our very own church building at 45 Charleston Street. Since then our prayer has been that it would be a tool for the community and ultimately for His Kingdom. With that being said, we value responsiveness. We believe that Jesus is our Head and the Holy Spirit our counselor. We seek to be responsive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every area of the Church’s life and ministry. As part of our responsiveness, we are committed to “give away our best,” whether people or resources or space to meet, in order to expand God’s Kingdom.
We welcome the use of our building for outreaches like Wellsboro MomCo, Marriage Encounter, Celebrate Recover, Advocates for Alzheimer’s, and Healthy Lifestyles. All are working to serve part of our community whether it’s to strengthen our bodies and marriages or providing support to one another during challenging times. We believe these outreaches are crucial to our community and to the Kingdom.

Wellsboro MomCo & MomCo
After Hours
Calling all Tioga County Mama’s with children ages 0-18!
Want to know what MomCo is all about? The Wellsboro MomCo, short for Mom Community. In a world of loneliness and isolation, we gather and support moms. We believe in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come together.
We have two different opportunities for you to gather with other moms to accommodate with your busy schedules. Both meeting options include food, a video/speaker, discussion, and a craft for you to take home. Meetings run during the school year at Vineyard Church of Wellsboro (45 Charleston St. Wellsboro, PA).
Morning Mom Meetings: 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month from 9-11:00AM.
Evening Mom Meetings (MomCo After Hours): 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month from 5:30-7:30PM.
THERE WILL BE CHILDCARE AVAILABLE FOR MOMS WHO HAVE CHILDREN AGES 0-5 YEARS OLD. ALL CHILDCARE WORKERS HAVE PROPER BACKGROUND CLEARANCES.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:24-25
Healthy Lifestyles Class
All ladies are invited to check out the Healthy Lifestyles class led by Ace Certified Fitness Trainer Sara Vogt. This class meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30-10:30AM right at the church.
Prepare to grow spiritually and physically as together we go through some healthy movements and work to grow stronger together.
The class will conclude on March 31st.
Be on the lookout for more details regarding our upcoming Getting Well in Wellsboro event. Join us for this event with Sara and special guests July 31st - August 1st, 2026.
Celebrate Recovery
A CHRIST-CENTERED RECOVERY PROGRAM AT
WELLSBORO VINEYARD
KICKING OFF MARCH 3RD, 2026
SERVICE + SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION
Celebrate Recovery is launching at the Vineyard Church of Wellsboro, and you’re invited to our kick-off meeting on Tuesday, March 3rd, from 6:00–7:30 PM. This will be the first of our weekly Tuesday night meetings, open to anyone seeking freedom and healing.
Celebrate Recovery (CR) exists to help people find freedom and healing from their hurts, hang-ups, and habits through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Whether you are struggling with substance use, unhealthy relationships, anxiety, control, codependency, or any other kind of addiction or life struggle, you are not alone—and there is hope.
Each meeting will include worship, a large group teaching or discussion, and small group time, providing a safe and supportive environment to grow, share, and experience transformation.
Come as you are and take a step toward freedom.
“The need for Celebrate Recovery is unmistakable, being a safe place for people to find freedom from the issues controlling their lives.” - Celebrate Recovery USA

Advocates for Alzheimer’s
Did you know that over 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s dementia?
Advocates for Alzheimer’s is a caregiver support group that meets on the second Tuesday of the month at Wellsboro Vineyard during the school year at 6PM. Maria Benedict Frank, who started the support group Advocates for Alzheimer’s, knows the loss and struggle that caregivers for those living with dementia deal with day to day.
Join with other caregivers who are supporting their loved ones, who are struggling with Alzheimer’s. This group offers encouragement and support to one another.
“Loneliness and isolation, that is probably the biggest problem that caregivers face. We’ve become a little family for sure. We’ve really had some fun. As crazy as it sounds, we’ve had laugh out loud moments. You have to find the funny sometimes.”
— Maria Benedict Frank | Advocates for Alzheimer’s Leader
Marriage Encounter
Marriage Encounter is a weekend away from home, family, and responsibilities. Here, in a comfortable, secluded environment, a married man and woman are guided through the discovery of a new way of communicating that will help them to know each other better. The Encounter is designed to give couples an opportunity to examine their lives together and develop useful tools to enhance their communication.
The Marriage Encounter journey began in Spain in 1952 as a tool to enable married couples to enrich the quality of their lives. In fact, the name Marriage Encounter is a direct translation from Spanish, where the words take on the beautiful connotation of discovering, or finding one another. In 1966, Marriage Encounter came to America. Today, there are over a million couples who have attended Marriage Encounter weekends. Are you next?

Your Weekend at Marriage Encounter
-
Our Marriage Encounter team makes all the meal and lodging accommodations for the event. Currently, this event is hosted at a hotel in the Painted Post/Corning/Elmira area of New York. Your entire stay, from Friday night's opening session through lunch on Sunday, is hosted by Marriage Encounter.
-
Sessions begin at 7 pm on Friday evening and run through 4 pm on Sunday afternoon. At each session, a husband and wife team and a Vineyard Pastoral couple give an informal talk on various aspects of marriage. Time is set aside following each presentation for couples to discuss privately, away from the group, their relationship as it relates to the topic presented. The weekend is structured, orderly, and informative. Couples will spend the entire time at the hotel, allowing them to concentrate on each other, free from outside distractions.
-
An all-inclusive, non-refundable, non-transferable registration fee of $100 is required to ensure a reservation. At the weekend's close, you will be allowed to donate or give a pledge, sharing in the cost and support of future Marriage Encounter weekends.
No one is ever refused the opportunity to attend a Marriage Encounter weekend because of a lack of funds. Don't hesitate to contact Wellsboro Vineyard for more information about available Marriage Encounter scholarships.
-
Marriage Encounter is not a typical marriage retreat, marriage clinic, or sensitivity group, nor is it a problem-solving workshop. Couples do not disclose their problems to the group or team couples for discussion or criticism.
Each Marriage Encounter weekend is conducted by three or four team couples, including a Vineyard Pastoral Couple, who are trained to present the weekend. Many couples face challenges in everyday routines that take away from focusing on their marital relationships and it’s health. Marriage is a very significant and intimate relationship and deserves our attention.
