What Is The Vine?
The Vine Campus Ministry originally started in 2004 as a ministry of Daybreak Community Church in Colchester, Vermont. It was originally known as 20something and reached college students and young adults in the Burlington, Vermont and surrounding area. As the ministry has grown it has changed over the years. Our focus on reaching the campuses in the area has grown more pronounced, as such we have adopted the new name The Vine.
The Vine comes from the verse John 15:5 where Jesus states "I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me." Our intent in this ministry is to bring Christ to the Campus and the Campus to the Church. We believe that every college student needs to hear the good news of Jesus Christ and we believe that every student that has heard and responded to this good news by making Jesus the Lord and Leader of their lives is best served by connecting to a local expression of the church.

Where is The Vine?
Our "flagship" chapter is located at the University of Vermont which is also open to students at Champlain College. We have hopes and plans to reach out to other areas around Vermont as we find a develop new workers to break new ground.
