SEND is a call to a continued focus on our vision to build joy-filled communities of faith. Our goal is to take the next faithful step in fulfilling God’s vision for our church by continuing to leverage God’s resources for Kingdom movement. SEND will help us release everyday missionaries to serve the city, encourage generosity, nudge steps, and deploy disciple-makers.

Serve
The
City

Together we’re building a place designed to serve this city for generations to come. It contains meeting spaces to host both church groups and non-church events. We hope to open the lower level throughout the week, fully equipped with Wi-Fi, tables, and freshly brewed fair-trade coffee. We hope to offer ways to support African orphanages and fight against injustices of the world such as abject poverty, child soldiers, and sex trafficking while supporting Kingdom movement through church plants across the world.Our dream is to have a campus where we don’t just gather on Sunday, rather it becomes a place where our yet-to-believe friends can gather and be served throughout the week. A place for people who have no interest in a Sunday gathering to join us throughout the week and allow people to interact and grow in relationship. We envision a place with wide-open doors for the entire community; a place where we cross paths with the yet-to-believe and invite them to make a difference through fair trade products while we pray and watch God do His thing, through His space, and His people.

Encourage Generosity

Wherever you are in your generosity journey, we want to walk with you as you take the next step. Maybe you’ve never given of your time, talent, or treasure, we encourage you to step out in one of these ways and experience the joy of generosity. Maybe you’re already giving–what has God given you that he may be calling you to give above and beyond for Kingdom movement? Some of us have never served before, now is the time to join the battleship as we step into the future God has for our church! You are a critical part of the mission, and God will use whatever is given to make an impact.
100% participation in the mission will allow us to continue to make significant steps toward our dream of being a church that gives 50% to outreach.  We are currently at 15% (over 200k) and impacting the Kingdom through church plants, Missional Grants, Block Parties, supporting a Pregnancy Center, Growing Hope, CASA, BaseCamp, Uganda, India, the local community, and so much more!

Highlights

We launched our partnership with Proxy Coffee; resourcing child-headed households in Uganda and future ministry needs.
We currently support 3 greenhouse farms and 1 more in development around refugee camps
Our training institute in Uganda equips these rural pastors as they actively multiply disciples and reach out to more villages.
We purchased a truck that helped them save construction costs.

Deploy
Disciple
Makers

When God moves through our pray/watch lists, the is a natural need for discipleship. Discipleship doesn’t happen without disciple-makers. That’s why the final component of the SEND initiative is deploying disciple-makers. We will continue to train everyday missionaries who embrace a lifestyle where everyone has one. Our desire is that every disciple of Jesus at Vintage Grace would actively seek to make disciples. At a minimum, everyONE (disciple-maker) would have ONE (disciple) they’re living life-on-life discipleship with for their joy and for the glory of God. The ultimate end is that their disciples would go on to disciple others. It doesn’t have to be complicated! Discipleship is as simple as joyfully devoting your life to Jesus and encouraging others to do the same. Here’s how you can start: identify someone from your pray/watch list, invite them into life-on-life relationship, imitate christ together, and send them to innovate this same process in their own God-given mission field. Our hope is that our church would be deployed as disciple-makers as a result of SEND for the glory of God and the joy of those who have yet to know him.
SEND is a vision initiative to steward our God-given space and resources. One of the main goals of SEND is to increase our corporate missional giving from 15% to 20%. The release of these funds will further the Kingdom movement we’re a part of locally and globally. Our most important goal of the SEND initiative is to inspire 100% participation from all our church family in regards to their Time-Talent-Treasure. The total SEND financial goal is to release $2.5 million over the next three years to be used for the glory of God. By releasing $2.5 million, we will be able to pay for half the loan on our new sending station and finish the lower level space. We know working together will make that goal a quick reality!
