"The Vineyard Depot"

Hand-painted murals, "real" railroad cars, a working water tank, and lots of railroad memorabilia make this feel like a fun journey into God's Kingdom.  You can even earn "depot bucks" and buy goodies at the Station Store! 


"ALL ABOARD!"    Leave your "baggage" at the baggage platform, come to the Kid's Depot, and climb on board for a train ride to fun in the Kingdom of God!

The older kids head down to the Station when the Steam Engine whistle blows.  They will come back upstairs in time to Worship with everyone in the Auditorium.  (The engine whistle is the authentic steam whistle of Union Pacific Steam Engine #844, housed in Cheyenne, Wyoming.  The actual engine comes through Greeley several times a year for Cheyenne Frontier Days and special railfan events.)
