Outreach Events
This is one of our mission fields. You don't have to
go overseas to find people who are in need of God's love.
We have countless opportunities right in our city.
Join us for any of our scheduled outreaches.
Contact the church if you have any questions on how you can serve on any of our ongoing
servant evangelism projects.
Bridge Builders
Every Tuesday @ 6pm
"We build a bridge of friendship and let Jesus walk over it"
Come with us as we head out to some homeless camps throughout Columbus and deliver hot meals and supplies to our friends on the streets. Meet us at The Fruit of the Vine building at 181 East 5th Ave.; Columbus 43201 and head out no later than 6:15pm, rain or shine. Feel free to come early and help us pack up supplies.
Grocery Giveaway
Third Saturday of each month at 12pm & 1pm
Join us as we bag up your grocery donations from the past month and “give it all away”! It’s great fun and a low-risk outreach - great for beginners. We meet at the church at Noon to bag up groceries and then we will caravan to the Southpoint Apartments on the south end where we will give it all away! If you can’t make the packing at Noon, we’ll be at Southpoint around 1pm to distribute the food. Look for us at 4111 Southpoint Boulevard; Columbus, OH 43207 We love to see new faces at our outreach.
Westside Free Store Outreach
First Saturday of every month @ 10am
We have teamed up with the Westside Free Store for several years now and support their efforts by providing a hot meal to their recipients on the first Saturday of each month. Join us as we sort donations, serve a hot meal and minister to those in need.
Meet in the basement of the Westgate United Methodist church, located at 61 South Powell Avenue in Columbus. Please contact the church if you are interested in helping with the purchase and preparation of the hot meal.
Bottom line...Jesus wants us to serve others.
Regardless if you have participated in any of outreach projects in the past, YOU are
welcome to join in at any time. Whatever your comfort level is with serving...there is a way
to be involved at any of our events. You are free to stay within your area of comfort
or break out and see how God can take you to a whole new level!

Missions
Lakota
On the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota is where we partner with Pastor Leon and Belva Matthews, who are Native Americans, ministering to their people on this reservation. There is a great need of encouragement, hope and happiness. Our team works on various projects - anywhere from construction to fun and fellowship. Come see a wonderful part of our country while ministering to those in need. If you are not ready to leave American soil to serve, Lakota is a great place to start!

Shepherds
Founded in Wisconsin, the Shepherds minister to mentally challenged adults. We travel to the Shepherds ministry once a year to work with their wonderful residents. Comfortably serve in this non-threatening environment, filled with happiness and the joy of the Lord. Consider traveling to The Shepherds - turning disabilities into capabilities. This is a great mission trip and it wont hurt your wallet.
India
Our partnership with India and Pastor A. Stephen and his wife, Queeny, is the oldest mission relationship we have at the Vineyard. Presently, the Vineyard of Grove City has completed a children's home in India under the direction of Pastor A. We also have seen the planting of many churches throughout South Central India through this ministry. Salvation and baptism numbers are in the hundreds each year!
Interest meetings are non-threatening with no commitment.
No pyramid schemes or sales pitches.
Just serving Jesus here and throughout the USA.
Not ready to hit the mission field? - it's okay.
Just come to the meetings, we want you there!

You can help once a year or every week - it's up to you!
