Interviewer: Spencer, can you tell us what Vines & Steins is all about?
Six Eight Ministries: Vines & Steins is an event designed to bring people together in a relaxed, joyful environment — with live music, great food, and plenty of opportunities for fellowship. It’s all about celebrating community and the impact we can make when we come together with a shared purpose.
Interviewer: Is this event mainly a fundraiser?
Six Eight Ministries: While it helps support Six Eight Ministries and our partners like Foodies Care, the heart of the event is connection. The goal is to create a space where people can share stories, celebrate missions, and enjoy each other’s company — without pressure to give beyond attending. Your participation alone contributes to the work God is doing through our ministry.
Interviewer: Why do events like this matter for your organization?
Six Eight Ministries: Events like Vines & Steins remind us that ministry isn’t just about programs or projects — it’s about relationships. Whether someone is serving in Costa Rica or engaging in their local community, we’re all part of the same mission: to love and serve others as Christ loves us. These gatherings provide a tangible way to build community, inspire generosity, and celebrate the joy of service.
Interviewer: What do you hope attendees take away from the evening?
Six Eight Ministries: We want people to leave encouraged, connected, and inspired to act. It’s a reminder that ministry can be fun, relational, and meaningful all at once. By coming together, enjoying fellowship, and learning more about the work being done, attendees experience firsthand how small acts of support ripple out to create lasting impact.
