In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay chats with Jessica Gatton. Jess shares about the profound experience she had with Jesus as a young child, being immersed in ministry as a teenager while her dad was her youth pastor and the decision she made in college to stay the course in her faith. Jess talks about how studying social work helped her make sense of her observations of the world, and the grace of coming to the end of herself in ministry, slowing down and doing some internal work. Finally, Jess and Jay discuss the incredible ongoing partnership between Alpha and the Vineyard, the turnkey evangelism course Alpha provides, and the profound gift of bringing churches back to the basics of hospitality, Jesus’ love, and experiencing the Holy Spirit. 

Jessica Gatton has been in the Vineyard for 30 years and is now on staff as VP of Ministry with Alpha USA.
