PASTORAL CARE

Here at V61, we care about your well-being and want to support each other when life is tough. Pastoral care within V61 is primarily done through our pastoral care and share model in Life Groups and our Site Pastors. 

Life Groups
‍Life groups are a fantastic way to connect, make friends, and support one another. Take a look at our groups and join one below.

Site Pastors
‍If you are in crisis then please reach out to your Site Pastor - you can email hello@vineyard61.org and we will redirect you.


Would you like prayer?
‍Here at V61, we’ll pray for anyone for anything. Email us your prayer requests to hello@vineyard61.org, we’d love to hear from you.

Safeguarding at V61
Here at V61 we are committed to providing a safe and caring environment for all, especially children, young people and vulnerable adults. We take safeguarding seriously, and if you have any safeguarding concerns or questions, please email hello@vineyard61.org.
