About Vineyard Ministries The Vineyard Ministries, was founded July 12, 2004 in San Diego, California. The Vineyard Ministries East was founded January 7, 2007 in Cumming, Georgia. The founder Pastor Stephanie Ross, realized that there was a cry in the land. The cry was for a unified way of helping people that have landed on hard time, hand up or a support to other non-profits. Vineyard Ministries is a 501(c)3 exempt organization. Since our company opened its doors in 2004, we've treated every customer like they were a part of our family. Other companies may offer similar services, but our services are the best, and come with a personal touch.
