CHANGED LIVES, CHANGING LIVES
We, as a church, seek to eliminate all dividing walls - lack of belonging, historical resentment, the stigma of incarceration, the “us versus them” mindset - by acknowledging the Biblical truth that sin is every person’s problem and Christ is every person’s answer.
Unity
We follow a discipleship model where time is spent to develop each recipient and equip them for the work of the ministry for building up the Body of Christ, in the unity of faith, in the knowledge of the Son of God, to full maturity of manhood in the fullness of Christ and joined to the Body of Christ.
Ephesians 4
DISCIPLESHIP
Our mission is to gently present men and women with God’s justice for sin and God’s merciful comfort to those in need offered through the redemptive work of His beloved Son and the regenerative work of His Holy Spirit as spoken through the Scriptures.
REDEMPTION
2 Timothy 2:2
Our goal is to give men and women hope through the Good News of Jesus Christ, hope through the experience of those who have overcome, and hope through the mission of changing lives, in turn, changing lives.

MEET OUR TEAM
John and his wife, Laura, were saved and baptized in Huntington, NY. Later, in Cleveland, OH, they joined others in the city in putting on services for those at the Cleveland City Missions, and this is where they felt that the Lord introduced John to the opportunity of ministering to the socially marginalized. After many moves around the country, attending Bible College and a church start-up in Houston, the Lord introduced John to ex-gang members in Albuquerque, NM, and he became friends with them. Through this, the Lord lit up 1 Samuel 22:2 to him. “And everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, gathered to him…” Eventually, John and Laura joined Vintage, and I felt an immediate affinity to this ministry. He began serving and eventually started leading the DTS Ministry.
