In addition to global missions, the church emphasizes local outreach initiatives, including acts of kindness, community engagement, and family-friendly service opportunities that help individuals live out their faith in everyday life.

Jesse & Eli Logan
Jesse and Eli Logan moved to Guatemala, City in the fall of 2024 to serve widows and children with One Challenge, a non-denominational, global sending organization. The Logan’s have felt this call on their lives for nearly a decade, and Eli has had a heart for missions since God called her a 14-year-old girl. They partner with One Challenge, a mission agency committed to equipping, assisting, sending, and partnering with the global church, local individuals, and communities as they seek to spread and live out the gospel in their own culture and beyond.
If you would like to help donate to the Logan’s and their mission please send a check made out to One Challenge with the Logan’s fund # 110390 in the memo on the check .

The Trainer Family
A UNIQUE CONNECTION. Stephen Trainer joined LAVC as Discipleship and Hospitality Pastor in spring 2021, building meaningful connections within our church and community. In early 2023, the Lord called the Trainer family back to Brooklyn, NY to relaunch Graffiti Fellowship. As a church, we continue to support them through prayer, fellowship, and financial partnership as they share the gospel with underserved communities.
A MINISTRY CALLED GRAFFITI - “Graffiti” comes from a network of ministries that began in New York City in 1975, where a building covered in graffiti became known as the “Graffiti Church.” Today, each Graffiti ministry is independent but shares a passion for reaching communities in need. We chose the name Graffiti Fellowship to carry on that meaningful legacy and mission.

Give Hope to Children in Poverty
Lakes Area Vineyard hosts and sponsors a sister site in Haiti!
Poverty robs children of their health, education, and hope for the future. When you sponsor a child, you empower their local church, which understands their individual challenges, to walk alongside them — releasing them from poverty in Jesus' name.
kindness
outreach
Often, people need to see the gospel before they are ready to hear the gospel. One of the best (and most fun!) ways to let people see the gospel is to show them God’s love with no strings attached through intentional acts of kindness. Whether you are naturally outgoing or an introvert, love sharing your faith, or have never tried, kindness outreach has something for all types and everyone gets to play! In addition to being a lot of fun, kindness outreach will give you practical tools for sharing your faith in your everyday life, and is a great way to get the entire family involved in outreach! Keep an eye out for our next outreach opportunities here!
