Buy 1 Give 1

Help us feed the hungry families in our beaches community. When non-perishable food items at your grocery store are on sale for ‘buy-one-get-one free’ we ask, if possible, that you buy one for your family and give one for those in need. All food can be dropped off at the Beaches Vineyard on Sunday mornings or during office hours (Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm).

International Missions and Missionaries

Mid-Term Missions

When members of Beaches Vineyard feel a call to full-time missions we seek to help them find an opportunity to do a “mid-term” mission, about a 6-month to 2 year assignment. Sometimes the best way to discern a personal call to missions is to simply go and work with a long-term missionary.
Email the church office here» for more information about our Mid-Term missionaries or this ministry.

Rick & Ellen Coffin

After planting a Vineyard in Delhi, the Coffins felt called to do it again and are in the process of starting a Vineyard in Bangalore.
