Resources
The Fruit of the Vine Resources Ministry is available for those who are in need of services from different organizations in our community. It is the prayer of those who have worked to get this area off the ground that we strengthen our church family as well as our guests from the Fruit of the Vine. Many families are in need and unaware or do not know where to turn for help within our community. We are blessed to have wonderful faith based organizations that are willing to provide services for individuals as well as families. It is our goal to provide families with resources that will meet their specific needs.
