God is doing something beautiful in this season. As our church has grown, so has the need for more pastoral care, discipleship, and outreach. That’s why we’re taking a step of faith: we are preparing to hire an Associate Pastor to help deepen discipleship, strengthen outreach, and care for families, children, and men in our growing congregation.
What makes this moment even more meaningful is who we are hoping to hire.
Many of you know and love Pastor Ron Petronicolos and his wife Tosha. They served faithfully as Associate Pastor and leaders of family ministry, Learning Zone, and outreach at the Westside Vineyard for many years. Their ministry left a deep impact on the community.
But God is writing a new chapter in their lives, and we are truly blessed to have Pastor Ron, Tosha and Nico joining us at Mid-City Vineyard. We believe this is a beautiful opportunity to welcome them into pastoral leadership again, in a role that will embrace and empower their gifts and calling.
Why This Matters
This new associate pastor role will allow Pastor Ron to:
Provide pastoral care and oversight for families and children
Strengthen men’s and marriage ministries
Equip and mobilize our church for outreach and evangelism
Help newcomers find a place of belonging
This is a step toward health, sustainability, and long-term fruitfulness for our church, but we cannot do it alone.
