You don't have to have it figured out to show up here.
Vineyard Altoona meets Sundays at 10:30 AM in Altoona, PA.
Here's what a Sunday looks like.
Sundays at Vineyard Altoona run about 90 minutes. There's free coffee before things start, worship music to open, and then a message from the Bible that's meant to connect to real life — not just sound religious.
Kids age 3 through 5th grade head to their own staffed room during the message — designed for them, with activities and teaching at their level. Nursery is available for younger children throughout the entire service.
No dress code. Nobody's going to single you out as a visitor. And nobody's going to make you do anything weird.
Want to hear us before you show up?
That's a completely reasonable thing to want. Here's our most recent message.
Meet the Pastors
Derek Heilmann
Lead Pastor
I grew up in church, walked away from it in college, and met Jesus for real in 2004. That changed everything. I've been following him — and asking a lot of questions along the way — ever since.
Jeri Heilmann
Community Pastor
I grew up in Altoona and began following Jesus in high school. My faith journey has included plenty of ups and downs, which shapes how I walk with others today. I love helping people grow and creating spaces where people can ask honest questions and discover they're loved just as they are.
Curious about faith?
Alpha is a free course where people get together to eat, watch a short video, and talk honestly about the big questions — God, meaning, what's the point of any of this. No pressure to believe anything. No judgment if you don't. Just real conversation.
Find your people.
Life Groups are smaller gatherings of people from Vineyard Altoona who meet regularly to share life together. Sunday is a great place to start — a Life Group is where you go deeper.
