5% Back to the Community
Once again in 2022, we’re giving 5% of our offerings back to the community.
In the fall of 2019, the leadership of Vineyard Church sensed God calling us to make 2020 a year for living generously. In addition to our ministry to the poor and general budget expenditures for local, national, and global outreach, we felt led to give 5% of our monthly tithes and offerings to a local cause, charity, or ministry that was not affiliated with Vineyard Church. In 2021, we gave away more than $39,000! And we’re doing it again in 2022! This expression of generosity is made possible because of those who faithfully give to Vineyard Church.
