We’d love to help you get connected with The Vine, whether you’d like to visit one of our gatherings, talk to someone about the church, or talk to someone about exploring faith.  Maybe you’re not even sure why you ended up at this website, but for some reason you’re curious.  It may be that God is at work in your life this very second.

Paul & Julie McMullen

Paul & Julie McMullen are leaders at The Vine church.  Julie is a speech pathologist who works in North Vancouver.  Paul is lead minister for The Vine.  Paul & Julie are the proud parents of their son David.  Child number two is on the way.

Paul did theological training at Harding School of Theology in Memphis, TN.  Both he and Julie have ministry experience with church plants, young churches, and established churches.  They enjoy having people over for dinner and games, biking out to 2nd beach for a picnic, community gardening, and playing with David and watching him grow.

Aaron is the Connections Minister for The Vine, and he is trained as a marriage and family therapist.  Amy is a teacher.  In the past she taught elementary school grades 2-4, and she is currently TESOL certified to teach English as a second language (ESL).  Regardless of what she's teaching, Amy has a passion to help others learn.

Aaron and Amy have ministered in a variety of settings including a drop in centre for homeless youth, campus ministry, and a substance abuse recovery centre.  They truly have a heart for walking with others in genuine relationship. 

Personally, the Etheridges love working in their garden, hiking, and sharing time over meals or coffee with friends. Perhaps most important, however, Aaron & Amy are committed to their marriage and are dedicated parents to Elijah Hawk and Toren Reed, their two sons.

(*Note: The Vine’s meeting schedule is changing during the first part of 2012.  Please contact our Connections Minister, Aaron Etheridge, at 778-668-6366 for current information.)
