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 Nancy shares about a calling that grew out of tragedy and disorientation. It was a journey that required turning to new ways and visions of life found in Christ which resulted in great mercy and grace. As the 26+ years of ministry have unfolded the spiritual need to intentionally create moments of quiet and stillness to allow for deeper reflection and connection to the divine has been central to receiving the Holy Spirit’s guidance. This Celtic understanding of the ‘thin place’ has deepened Nancy’s faith and calling. This turning to Jesus has helped cultivate a ministry of faithfulness and beauty.
