How Congregations Can Partner with The Vine
Make a Financial Gift
Unlike a traditional congregational ministry, college ministry cannot be supported by offerings from our students. As a result, we rely on the support of congregations to help make this ministry possible. Please consider making a financial gift to support The Vine.

Refer Students
If students from your congregation are headed off to college, let us know! If they are studying in the New York City area, we'll invite them to participate in The Vine. If they are headed elsewhere, we can ask a local ELCA campus ministry or congregation to reach out and welcome them. Click here to fill our our referral form.

Put Vine NYC Inserts in your Worship Bulletin
Most people in the pews don't know that there is an active, open, and welcoming campus ministry network supported by the Lutheran church and ecumenical partners serving students in New York City. Help us invite more folks to know about, support and invite students into campus ministry by downloading these inserts and putting them in your bulletin. These are great to use on a Campus Ministry Sunday.
