The Vine is a community that is committed to living out our faith by serving our neighbors and seeking a more just world. In the past, service opportunities have included volunteering at soup kitchens and community farms. We have engaged in learning and advocacy around hunger, immigration, environmental justice, racial justice, among other issues. We have marched in protests, and taken immersion trips to learn about racial justice in the southern U.S., faith-based advocacy in D.C., and immigration justice issues at the U.S.-Mexico border.

We will be bringing a group to this national conference for progressive Christian students. Join us as we gather together across campuses, denominations and national boundaries for a time of worship, prayer, Bible study, social analysis, conversation, and strategic planning to reckon with the moral injustices of our time, including poverty, white supremacy, empire, and ecological devastation; to build community for the journey together toward healing; and to reimagine a new world, a new heaven and earth, and explore our role in bringing about that vision.
