How to Partner with a La Viña Church

Our desire as people of the kingdom of God is to reach people all over the world with the good news of Jesus. As a group of over 56 million people, Hispanics are the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the United States. In fact, many have Spanish speaking neighbors in our communities. We really believe that the best way for our Spanish speaking neighbors to experience Christ in a Vineyard church is for them to do so in their own language. This is why we are planting new Spanish speaking La Viña churches throughout America.

Watch this conversation on how to get involved meeting and supporting your Spanish speaking neighbors. Our discussion will also look at tested ways that current Vineyard churches can partner to support a La Viña ministry or church plant.

What You’ll Learn:

• Ways to begin to serve Spanish speakers in your neighborhood
• How to begin raising up diverse leaders
• The levels of commitment in supporting La Viña ministries
