We are not created to walk through life alone! Through our relationship with God and relationships with others, we experience healing. Community Care Ministries at The Vineyard is designed to help others by walking alongside of them in the journey of life.
Whether it is a crisis situation, addiction, trauma, relational struggle, spiritual question, or ongoing issue, Community Care provides a safe, supportive, and confidential environment to address needs.
All of us encounter struggles, hurts, and areas of brokenness, but it is God’s desire to restore, redeem, and renew us. Through the love of our heavenly Father and our embracing who we are in Christ, Community Care Ministries seeks to join in the work of the Holy Spirit in people’s lives so that they may experience freedom and joy.
Realizing each individual’s journey of healing is unique; Community Care Ministries offers the following opportunities for healing and growth:
