At The Vine, we believe that missions is for all people, in all places, at all times. Living missionally is our response to accepting that God created us with purpose and that His creation exists to glorify Him.
Our call to live missionally was never intended to be restricted to a church ministry or vocation. It is meant to permeate across all areas of our lives and shape how we see our relationships with God, with others, and His creation.
Our approach to missions and justice work is based on recognising the intrinsic value and dignity within humanity and all His creation. Your journey in living missionally is deeply personal and reflective of where God is leading you. It is shaped by your skills, experiences, and passions. We want to equip and empower you to reflect God’s heart for humanity and His creation.
Missions Pathways
Missions Pathways are designed to inform and equip you to understand and respond to significant issues in our community. It is an opportunity that empowers you to explore what a personal response looks like given your gifts, spheres of influence and journey with God.
We do this by partnering with local and overseas organisations that align with our desire to see sustainable impact in the lives of people in need. As a church we support the work they are doing and provide a bridge for our church to be involved with those doing the frontline work.
Human Trafficking
Human trafficking takes place when people are coerced, deceived, or threatened via physical or other forms of violence into exploitative situations, employment, or servitude. This Pathway focuses on learning about trafficking in persons and explores the question of “what can I do to play a role in God’s redemptive story?
Our Missons Partners:
Ministry and Evangelism
As Jesus' followers, we are told to "Go into the whole world and proclaim the good news to every creature." We are all called and equipped with our unique gifts and responsibilities in our spheres of influence to make Christ known. This Pathway explores what our role is as individuals and as a church to respond to this call.
Our Missons Partners:
Childhood Development
As Christians we carry a special role in supporting, caring for, and protecting children who are vulnerable and are exposed to significant risks in our city. This includes physical, social, and spiritual needs and in particular the role which fostering and adoption can play in helping them flourish.
Our Missons Partners:
Economic Empowerment
The impact that poverty has stretches beyond material and financial needs. Poverty has the potential to disrupt all areas of human flourishing. In our Economic Empowerment Pathway we explore what a personal response can look like in playing part of God's restoration of human poverty.
Our Missons Partners:
Creation Care
God's heart for Creation is to see it flourish and fulfill its intended purpose. As part of that creation we live within a complex ecosystem that we share with countless other species. Our posture as believers should lead us to appreciate and cherish humanity and our natural environment. God’s original intention was for humankind to be caretakers, to watch over and cultivate His Creation (Genesis 2:15). This Pathway focuses on ways we can respond to care for the creation around us.
