New to the Vineyard? Welcome!

Are you new to our community? Let us know by filling out a Welcome Card and we'll get in touch with you! This is the best way to get connected at our church and to let us know how we can best serve you.

Giving

If you think of Vineyard as your church home, giving regularly is a way to be a part of the work we’re doing in and outside of our church. We love that we get to play a part in the generosity God extends to others through our benevolence fund, Easter giveaway, Sunday celebrations, ministry of presence, and more. You made it happen through your prayers, service, and financial gifts!

Wanted: Toddler-sized Furnishings

Our toddler classroom is looking for extra toddler-sized furniture, rugs, or toys to borrow for a few weeks while we are in between daycare renters. If you have furnishings to share, you can talk to Pastor Marissa or just bring it to church. 

UNHOUSED THANKSGIVING HELPS NEEDED

For Thanksgiving this year, we will be handing out to-go meals on Thanksgiving Day from 12:00-2:00pm at the Delonis Center (312 W Huron St Ann Arbor, MI 48104). Whilst we won’t be using any volunteers, we would be blessed with any financial donations, and we could also use all the 20oz bottles of soda you can give! Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew. That’s it. Leave soda in the red bins outside of Pastor Shaun’s office. Here’s a link to give monies, just make a note that it’s for Thanksgiving.
