Behind every ministry is a story, a journey shaped by calling, struggle, hope, and grace. In this six-week preaching series, This Is Our Story, the pastors of The Vine will share their personal paths to ministry: our gifts, our passions, and the moments that shaped our call. As we open our lives to you, we will also reflect on how these stories are woven into the larger story of The Vine, a hybrid faith community rooted in healing and belonging. Through our stories, may you hear echoes of your own and be reminded that God is still writing a story in all of us.

Pastor Carlos shares his journey of discerning his call to ministry while pursuing his passion for culinary arts. Balancing life between the kitchen and the pulpit, Carlos found himself at a crossroads, wondering if he was truly worthy of serving as a pastor. Through a surprising encounter in the most unexpected place, God made it clear that the call was not about his qualifications, but about bringing Jesus to others. His story is a reminder that God’s faithfulness often meets us in the middle of our uncertainties, inviting us to trust and obey.
