Quarterly Community Conversation

In 2022 Vine began an intentional process of dreaming about how God is calling us to use our facility and property to fulfill our mission and love our neighbors well.

We walked through seasons of dreaming, listening, learning, and praying – inviting all members of our congregation to connect with their neighbors to learn about the needs of this community, engaging with our community partners & local leaders, and gathering as a church body to pray and discover the ways God is calling us forward.

Through the process, a number of priorities became clear.

• Vine is committed to being a church that serves as a community center loving neighbor through acts of service and a sharing of space that builds relationship and equips service.
• Vine values inclusive and accessible programs, ministries, and facilities – allowing all people to belong.
• Shared outdoor space with the community is a priority. Considering how our property could include walking paths, biking trails, an accessible playground, and gathering space is important to our future.
• Recognizing the unique position of our property and the very real needs of the larger community – Vine feels called to help address the crisis of affordable housing and childcare our neighbors are experiencing.Learn more about the project at our web site: thevineva.org/building and join us for our next Quarterly Community Conversation!
