The Vine:
Connecting people, places and programs
Your national information access centre for congregations and ministries in The Presbyterian Church in Canada
The Vine serves and supports congregations and congregational leaders with the resources they are looking for to grow their ministries.
Do you need to plan a special service of worship, find ideas for training new elders, develop a plan for a new and exciting outreach program or evaluate a church school curriculum for your congregation? We are here to lend a hand. We have thousands of resources. We’ll hear your concerns and help you get the answers you need. If we can’t answer your question we will connect you with the people, places and programs that will.
