The Vine Community Church

What The Vine Community Church does

The Vine Community Church is an independent, nonprofit Christian church headquartered at 4655 Bethelview Road, Cumming, Georgia, serving a congregation primarily drawn from Forsyth County. The church operates two Sunday worship services at 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM, with children's ministries (Kids Vineyard for infants through Pre-K; Vine Kids for kindergarten through fifth grade) available at both services and a livestream option for the 10:45 AM service. Its ministry portfolio spans the full life cycle, including middle and high school youth ministry (ROOTED), adult community engagement through life groups and seasonal study groups (Men's, Women's Morning, Women's Evening), a newcomer onboarding program (The Bridge), senior adult ministry (What's Next?), confidential one-to-one care (Stephen Ministry), and workplace discipleship (Career Compass).

The church's underlying technology stack is a third-party SaaS composition rather than proprietary infrastructure. It uses the Elvanto church management platform for member accounts, event registration, form submissions, and giving administration, supplemented by unlimited congregational access to RightNow Media's streaming library of over 20,000 video Bible study resources. The church maintains a digital presence through its website, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and a Spotify-distributed ROOTED youth podcast, with Google reCAPTCHA providing spam protection on its prayer request form. Website infrastructure is powered by Tithely.

Revenue mechanics are entirely donation-based: attendance at services is free, with income derived from voluntary tithes and offerings, occasional free-will offerings or nominal registration fees for special events, and designated gifts supporting local outreach (e.g., Family Promise, The Place) and international missions (Kenya, Peru, Thailand, India, Greece). The church is staffed by a team of approximately 15 employees led by Lead Pastor Tim Barton, supported by a broad volunteer lay-leader network operating life groups, study groups, hospitality, and care ministries. The Vine pursues community impact through structured partnerships including quarterly hosting of homeless families via Family Promise, the Hope Tree adoption and foster care ministry, short-term mission trips (STEMS) to multiple international locations, and church-planting support through Church Multiplication Ministries.

Others
