To Be Determined
Senior Pastor
We invite you to join us in praying for our Pastor Search Committee as they go about the work of discerning who God is leading to Vineville as our next Senior Pastor. May both Vineville Baptist Church and the next Senior Pastor be ready to go about Kingdom work together with unity, enthusiasm, and fruitful efforts.
