Short-Term Missions Interest Form 2027 • The Vine Community Church

The Purpose of our Short-Term Missions (STEMS) is to see the kingdom of God advance through effective cross-cultural ministry, to grow relationships with our global partners, and to experience the spiritual growth within our teams.

Our trips are shaped by our partners across the globe, and we hope to be an encouragement and support to their ministries. We also know that these trips can change us as they help remove us from our normal routines and distractions that tend to prevent us from moving toward a deeper dependence on Christ. Concurrently, we get to experience true community with each other and see God's heart for the poor and oppressed of the world.
