Sandra:
I was going to approach this totally differently at first and denounce the Vineyard Church because I've had some experience with it (there's one down the road) and just personally don't like it. I am a firm non-born-againer, if there's such a thing, due to my upbringing, so I tend to jump to conclusions about non-denominational churches.
So, I tried to do some research.
Here's a site:

Is that what you're referencing? I'm sticking it here for Mandy as well. I don't like some of the concepts:
"Serve the Father in the power of the Spirit, following Jesus’ holistic and incarnational ministry of proclaiming and manifesting the kingdom of God."
That doesn't seem very Biblical to me, but I am certain each church differs and am glad you found a place you feel comfortable in. Also, this is just mho.
I have seen Catholic friends leave the church for another. Sometimes it works, but more oft than not it alienates them further from God and spirituality. Let me know what you've seen, as a former Catholic.
Your post was very supportive and encouraging, and though I don't agree with the church itself, your post didn't seem "pushy" at all, which was nice.
