THE HEART BEHIND VINESTARTERS

Technology that helps faith flourish.

VineStarters is a software company built on a simple conviction: technology should help people connect more deeply, grow in their faith, and serve the communities they love.

WHY WE EXIST

Tools that bring people closer.

Faith grows in relationship: with God and with one another. Yet the people doing the most meaningful work—missionaries, small group leaders, ministries and everyday believers—often rely on tools that weren’t made for them.

VineStarters builds and grows practical software products for the Christian market, designed with care, priced to sustain the work, and built to strengthen real relationships rather than replace them.

ROOTED IN THE VINE
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.”

A PERSONAL NOTE

Why I started VineStarters.

For more than 14 years with the Jesus Film Project, I’ve walked alongside missionaries and ministry leaders around the world. I’ve seen how much relationships matter—and how scattered tools and communication gaps can make meaningful work harder.

I started VineStarters because I want technology to help people feel more connected, not more overwhelmed. That means simple, thoughtful software for missionaries sharing their stories, believers praying together, and faith communities supporting one another.

For me, the purpose isn’t just to build another app. It’s to help people grow in faith and stay close to the people they’re called to serve.
