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 Monica shares her unfolding call which is rooted in the greatest commandment to love—love for God, love for everyone else. Pastor Monica was called to believe that these words of Jesus are not only a foundation for faith but a blueprint for ministry: to go to others and lead them in seeking Jesus; people in the neighborhood, people on the margins knowing that is where Jesus will be found. In answering this call, Pastor Monica steps into a life shaped by radical love and active obedience, seeking to live out the gospel not just in word, but in deed; not to invite and wait for people to come, but to find - and lead others to redemption through the loving grace of Jesus Christ.
