Service & Justice
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.
While unfortunately our justice learning trips are on hold because of the pandemic, there are still some pressing opportunities to serve right now:
We will also be convening Anti-Racism Small Groups this semester to engage in discussion, learning, and mutual accountability around dismantling racism and white supremacy through a Christian lens.
