The Vine Christian Ministries had its origins as a small Bible class offered by Apostle Jesse Rainwater at his home. Within a couple of years it grew from just a few neighborhood children into a class full of kids, teenagers, adults and families.
On March 6th 1994, Apostle Rainwater celebrated both his 49th birthday and the beginning of his ministry as a pastor. This day marked the beginning of the church, which was originally called the Full Gospel Church of Jesus Christ. Services were held in buildings provided by the Bellevue School District and soon moved to the Bellevue Masonic Center.
In 2006, the Lord opened the doors to a new building in Seattle, and the church changed its name to The Vine Christian Ministries. The Vine is actively working towards serving its surrounding communities in greater capacity. If you have not done so, please take the time to visit us in person.
