Paul will be acting as Vineyard's Young Adult Ministry Director, overseeing the team of 8 student ministry directors.
Catie DiYanni
Catie gave her life to Christ her freshman year of high school and owed it to the leaders who sacrificed their time, energy and money to share the gospel with and disciple a group of teenagers. Joining the local church, Catie learned what a life serving Jesus was really like and had felt the call to ministry ever since. Serving in relief missions, international missions, and now leading youth ministry for 8 years. It has been the greatest adventure to run this race next to the love of her life, and now to raise up our two sons at Vineyard. They're passionate about the small moments, the intentional conversations, and the challenges that bring them closer to the Father.
Nathan Fleeger
Nathan has been doing youth ministry for 6 years now, and every moment reminds Nathan why he loves it. Whether it’s helping a student through something they’re going through, or students throwing pies in his face to encourage camp sign-up, there is never a dull moment! Nathan grew up through this ministry when he was in high school, and he felt that God called him back to be the kind of influence his youth leaders were for him.
Emilia Bisel
Emilia has been serving in youth ministry since 2020. When she graduated High School she knew youth ministry was where she was supposed to be. Emilia has always called Vineyard Community her home church. She started coming here as a 5th grader and grew up in the youth group and saw the different changes the church has gone through over the years. Now she is very blessed to have this job and be part of the change in her community. Emilia is very passionate about building relationships, showing them love, and leading the youth to Jesus.
