AGM 2021

Posted: 18 February 2021

Vine Church Annual General Meeting

Monday, 29 March – 6.30pm

Why is the AGM important?

The AGM is important for us as a church because it is the way we take responsibility for the governance, administration and representation of our church. At the meeting will elect members to four roles: Parish Council, Wardens, Nominators and Synod Representatives. We're thankful to those that have served our church throughout 2020. 

Parish Council

This is the broader governing body of our church – the elected representatives are joined by the wardens and lead pastor.

Join us for our annual vision series! 

There's nothing more attractive than a person who thinks about others and doesn’t need to be the hero. There’s nothing more attractive than a church that thinks about others and wants Jesus to be the hero.

Every year we stop, reflect and refocus with our annual vision series. This year we’re looking at how the church Jesus wants us to be is marked by deep humility.
