Linda has been walking out a journey with her Lord for 36 years, ever since He grabbed her attention as a college student.Raised in a non-religious home, Linda had an awareness of God from a young age and would often go to church with friends and their families. Then, in the middle of the “Jesus Freak” movement in the 70s, Linda was drawn to Park Street Church in downtown Boston. Here she received valuable teaching and guidance. It is here that she also met her husband, John Ustach. After a short courtship and engagement, John and Linda were married in September 1975.Being active in a community of believers has always been an important part of their life together. They have worshiped in many different Protestant denominations, ending up at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Lisbon Falls in 1986. It was here that Linda and John were introduced to some of the ministries of the Vineyard.Linda and John have four birth children: Michelle, Mark, Julia and Kate and three children they adopted in 2007: Jacob, Andrew and Hunter. It was after taking in the three young boys that they felt God calling them to move from the St. Matthew’s ‘family’ to the Vineyard ‘family’ in 2006. Both Linda and John have been involved in many training classes and ministries during their brief three years at Vineyard. After volunteering for 2 years with the worship ministry and coffee bar ministry, as well as general office help, Linda accepted the position of bookkeeper and is thrilled to be a part of the dynamic, loving, devoted and diverse staff at Pathway Vineyard.

HEROIC LEADERSHIP INSTITUTEAs followers of Jesus, we have a divine assignment: to help contribute to the redemptive history of the world. It is to this cause that the leaders of Pathway Vineyard have been serving, raising and releasing leaders for the last 20+ years. In this journey, it has been increasingly obvious that many of the young leaders longed for and needed a place where they could be equipped for a life-time of Kingdom empowered ministry.The Heroic Leadership Institute's goal is to fill this need by merging the five core Vineyard Values: The Theology and Practice of the Kingdom of God, Experiencing God, Reconciling Community, Compassionate Ministry and Culturally Relevant Mission with four of the spiritual pillars that have been formed over the centuries through spiritual exercises. These four pillars are Self-awareness, Ingenuity, Heroism and Love!We believe that these nine key components, interwoven in a holistic training model will produce men and women prepared for today’s changing world. Young people who are grounded in their relationship with Jesus Christ, able to make life decisions even in the face of difficult circumstances, consecrated to the cause of Christ and passionate for the further in breaking of the Kingdom of God in and through the local church. We hope you’ll join us!Visit our website for more information!

Leo has been a part of the Pathway community for several years now. Besides working with Bob to take care of the Pathway Lewiston facilities, Leo also volunteers with the Lisbon Fire Department. Leo also helps out with the PVC life group Gearheads, which is a ministry that helps fix cars for members of the community.

Bri has been working for Pathway Vineyard for almost two years now, but she has been a member of the church since she was three years old. She is proud to have participated in and volunteered with the various ministries of the church – such as Kid’s Church, 5th & 6th Graders, youth group, the Vineyard Christian School, and the various theatre productions – over the years. Currently, Bri works with the teens at RIOT Youth on Sunday nights. One of the things she has gotten to help with in the last year has been ‘Beautiful,’ which is a three day conference for girls. It was created to help inspire and empower teenaged girls to be all that God intends for them to be. Bri really has a passion for calling this out in the teens she works with, and she hopes to be involved with RIOT for a long time to come. Bri is also attending the University of Southern Maine full time in order to complete her bachelor’s degree in English. She hopes to be finished with it in the Spring of 2012.

Pathway Mission InitiativePathway Mission Initiative is a ministry of Pathway Vineyard Church with 3 Areas of Engagement...1. MaineWe have a very clear call to effectively contribute to the redemptive history of the State of Maine. To do this we will use everything at our disposal to reach out in as many ways as possible to people in need in our communities.There are many great ministries and organizations that we support that meet the real felt needs of our communities. Part of PMI funds will go directly to helping those partners committed to serving people in need.Maybe one week PMI funds will fill 3 furnaces full of oil, or the next we help a local church put the new roof on that they so desperately need. Your gift will help local food banks as well as homeless shelters.2. The Dominican RepublicWe, along with several churches in upstate New York, are partners in a Vineyard Church planting movement in the Domincan Republic. We work with several existing churches and a few that are moving towards becoming Vineyards. In this third world country, there is ample opportunity for us to send teams of people (youth, medical, others) to help the local churches as they address the real needs of their communities. Not only can you help financially through PMI, but maybe this year you can join one of the teams and fall in love with a whole new culture.3. SpainMany years ago, this church felt a call to help plant churches in the nation of Spain, particularly in the northern Basque region. This is an area of the world where "Church" as we know it is foreign to most. We partner with Juan and Ruthy Rojas & their family, Chileans who share the burden of the Lord for the Basque people. They are currently church planting in San Sebastian. They recently launched weekly Sunday meetings in a rented space that seats about 30 -- a huge step forward. They have also been developing a Marriage Encounter for the last several years. There are several ways you can participate in Pathway Mission Initiative. You canA) PrayB) Stay InformedC) Serve locallyD) Make a sacrificial financial committment.To become a PMI Partner, Click Here!

Each Life Group seeks to form a small community of people who will journey together for 11 to 12 weeks and explore the claims of Christ as we live with a 21st century reality. The current life group cycle begins on the week of June 2nd!If you have any questions about life groups, please contact Pauline Powell.

Thomas grew up in the Vineyard Church and has been passionately involved in many different ministries for most of his life. Always having a strong desire to minister, the first two years of High School he participated and taught in after school bible studies at Poland Regional High School. During his junior year, he decided to then transfer over to the Vineyard Christian School where he would eventually complete his High School education. He then went on to pursue his passion for ministry by diving into an intense 9 month Discipleship Training School at the Vineyard College of Mission in Boise, ID.After that year had ended, Thomas had plans to serve overseas for the next three years, but on his way back to Maine he had experienced a very strong encounter with the Holy Spirit and he felt that Maine was where God was calling him to. After that experience there was no denying that his home state was now on his horizon and God was going to use him there in many different ways. Thomas started attending the Pathway Vineyard in 2009 and ever since he has been very involved with youth group, worship, and video production. Now joining the staff to serve as a leader for HLI, he is being fired up more than ever and is very expectant of what God is going to do through the local church. Thomas loves music, making videos, hanging out with the downtown Lewiston folk, and making people laugh.

Our Unlikely StoriesRegional Womens' ConferenceIn every culture and ethnic heritage, God has tucked a unique piece of his character. In every woman there are gifts you’ll never see anywhere else in quite the same combination. And in every calling – outside the church and in it, public and hidden – there is God-given dignity and worth. Come and hear from three very different women the stories of how God calls us and shows us our gifts, how we help each other name and ‘own’ that calling and gifting, and how we support each other as we launch out into those unique things God has called us to do. We hope these stories will inspire you to ask bigger questions of God and yourself, and to celebrate the great diversity of gifts, callings and cultures within our own churches.For more information or to register for this event, please visit the event website, vineyardwomensconference.eventbrite.com. We look forward to seeing you there!

We are part of a community of Vineyard churches that is world wide. In January of 2004, Phil & Janet Strout became the Senior pastors of the Vineyard Church of Lewiston.In 2009 The Vineyard of Lewiston changed its name to Pathway Vineyard Church as they moved from a single church location to becoming a multi-site church. In addition to five church plants, the Pathway Vineyard has been privileged to have linked hands with 12 other Vineyard churches in New England and participated in a number of church plants in Spain.In keeping with this story we anticipate the planting of many more churches in Maine and New England.Our Mission Statement"To actively reach the Central Maine area with the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ; to worship and adore Him and encourage others to do the same; to train and prepare God's people for the works of service so that the Body of Christ will be built up; to be a caring, creative, loving, healing, Spirit empowered community of believers who will contribute to the redemptive history of the State of Maine." Our Vision Statement"Our vision as a church is to be a community of significant size living in worship, walking in fellowship, becoming life long followers of Jesus. Using all that the Lord gives us to minister to one another, we commit ourselves to the redemptive history of the State of Maine, reaching out in every way possible to our neighborhoods and the nations that God calls us to." The Story of The Vineyard, A Community of Churches.In 1982, John Wimber, who had been a pastor and church consultant, was asked to serve as the leader of a newly formed association of about nine churches (all in Southern California) that called themselves Vineyard. As the leader of this new movement, known as The Vineyard: A Community of Churches, John pastored the pastors and trained and encouraged the planting of churches internationally. Worldwide, there have been over 620 Vineyard churches planted in the US and many through out the nations including Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, Russia, Turkey, throughout the European continent, Africa, Southeast Asia, and in Australia. God has shown us, however, that His desire is not just to build the Vineyard, but that we should promote His Kingdom, and encourage, build, and love the whole church. For more information about the Vineyard Nationally go to www.vineyardusa.org

We Believe...that there is ONE LIVING AND TRUE GOD, eternally existing in three persons, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.We believe that the SCRIPTURES of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired, and entirely trustworthy in all matters of faith and practice. For more information about the Vineyard movement, please visit our national website.

Mike and AJ Lyle met at Pathway Vineyard and were soon married in the fall of 2008. Mike started helping out at RIOT youth after attending a Winter Retreat where he was donned the “Game Guy” (one good game idea, and he"s labeled for life; the rest have been average, at best). Mike and AJ found themselves joining the leadership team in the fall of 2008 and immediately fell in love with the teens and fellow leadership. Mike, a 2001 graduate of The Salvation Army’s pastoral college, served as a pastor for four years before being led to Maine. He is currently enrolled in VLI as well as finishing a Bachelors of Science degree in Human Services at Empire State College. AJ grew up attending the Vineyard and has served the church as a volunteer throughout the years. She is currently working towards a Bachelors degree at the University of Southern Maine while working at an Industrial Supply Company in the Lewiston area. Mike and AJ both have a passion to see youth live for Christ and to join in on what God is doing in, around, and through them.

Michele has been a part of Pathway Vineyard for about twenty years, and she has been involved in Children's Ministry for the majority of that time. Having led at almost every level and in every area of Children's Ministry since first coming in the early 90s, Michele brings an unparalleled passion and joy to this ministry. Michele has been married to her husband, Toebe for 27 years, has two daughters - Brianna and Holly - and currently resides in Sabattus, ME with her family.

Grimaldi was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and experienced a very dramatic conversion at the age of 17. Less than a year later he was off to Valley Forge Christian College, where he majored in Pastoral Ministry. While there he also found himself in the company of some very talented musicians and passionate worshippers of God. By the time he graduated in 1995, he was leading worship for chapel services and was well on his way to becoming a life-long seeker of God.Grimaldi met Celine at Bible College and the two were married in 1992. This union of a Puerto Rican New Yorker and a Franco-American Mainer has produced, among other things, some lively debates about the merits of white rice versus the versatility of potatoes. Their four beautiful children (Manny, Sam, Isabel and Christina) all prefer white rice.In 1995 Grimaldi and Celine moved to Maine and were involved in a church planting effort in the Portland area for a few years. In 1998 Grimaldi became the associate pastor of a church in Gray and served in several capacities worship leader, youth pastor, and short-term missions coordinator, to name a few. During this time he also formed a band called Monday Night Project and began to teach voice lessons at Fiddlehead Center for the Arts.In 2005 the Martinez family moved to Lewiston and began attending Pathway Vineyard Church. It didn’t take long for them to feel at home. They soon became involved in the worship ministry, Grimaldi as a musician and worship leader, Celine as a background vocalist. Grimaldi joined the staff as the Worship Director.In his spare time Grimaldi enjoys boxing, song-writing, and perfecting the art of the home-made smoothie.

Mike and his wife Ann grew up with a Catholic background, having a knowledge of God but never knew the depths of His love until they found The Vineyard in 1993. Having a musical background, Mike and Ann were captured by the worship team's first song, "Warrior King", and soon after felt the intimacy in worship grab their hearts.Mike became part of the worship team in 1994, and when the church birthed VCF-Mechanic Falls, Mike and Ann sensed God's leading to go on the plant. During this time, their passion for worship drew them into writing songs of worship, and felt God calling them to go into other churches bringing the Good News and fan the flame with songs of celebration, freedom, and deliverance to the community. Forming two bands, "Fortress" and "David's New Shoes," they ministered in the surrounding communities.In 2003, Mike and Ann felt called to assist a local non-Vineyard church, helping them establish their worship team. After a year of service, they missed their Vineyard roots and family, and returned to VCF Lewiston, where Mike was raised up to oversee worship. Later in 2004, he was asked to join the staff.Currently Mike leads a worship team and facilitates a quarterly worship song writing development class. Mike and Ann have a teenage son, Zach and a married daughter, Britnee.

When Pauline and Rick Powell visited the Vineyard Church for the first time in July of 1991, they realized they had found their home. Pauline, from Lewiston, met Rick, while both were working in Rick"s home state of Indiana. Married since 1983, they have four boys; Chad and his wife Shayna, Jason, Zachary and Jonathan.A registered counselor and Biblical counselor, Pauline joined the Pastoral staff in January of 2005 to oversee Ministry Development. Before that she has served in various areas of lay leadership. Through her own personal journey, Pauline discovered a passion for Freedom Ministry; guiding individuals to a walk in freedom by helping them find healing and liberty from hurts and bondages as they "grow to know" their identity in Christ.Pauline as an assistant pastor oversees Ministry Development and the Vineyard Ministries Department which includes such areas as Breaking Free, Divorce Care, Care Ministry, Grief Share, Celebrate Recovery and Counseling. A systemic thinker, she helps develop avenues for individuals to get and stay connected in their discipleship with Christ as the well as the church community.Rick, a supervisor at the Portland JetPort for the Department of Homeland Security, enjoys teaching various Discipleship Journey classes and Men"s Ministry Events here at the Vineyard. He and Pauline are Small Group leaders whose goal is to build and grow healthy small groups and leaders.Ultimately, it is both Rick and Pauline"s desire to help people "bump into Jesus" so that they might find the wholeness they are seeking, and in turn, become effective in impacting Central Maine for the Kingdom of God.

Bob and Lynda Nailor came to the Vineyard in July of 1991 and quickly found themselves involved in a great adventure with God. Within a week of visiting the church they were invited to a kinship (home groups that meet weekly). Kinships quickly became vital to them and they have attended one ever since. It wasn’t long before they began leading kinships. In the fall of that year, Bob felt a call to begin to work as a volunteer in the Children’s Ministry program. What they didn’t realize at the time was that these two decisions would shape the direction of their journey for many years to come.In 1993 “Pastor Bob” began leading Children’s Ministry as a lay leader and came on staff as the Children’s Pastor in June 2007. Bob and Lynda have a passion to see kids become sold out for Jesus and start their journey as life long disciples as early as possible. Bob currently oversees the caretaking of the PVC facilities as well as various office administrative details.Bob and Lynda have been married since 1991 and have four children Amy, Amanda, Adam and Zac. Prior to coming on staff Bob worked for 20 years at Bath Iron Works as Senior Project Manager. Lynda worked for 20 years as an Interpreter for the Deaf and since 2001 has used her sign language skill teaching a special needs child at Lisbon Community School.

Allen & Darlin bumped into the Vineyard in 1991 and knew immediately that they had found a home. Allen & Darlin are both originally from Lewiston, were married in 1991 and have two children, Erik & Jennah. Darlin and the kids would say that there is a third child by the name of Zoe, however, Allen reminds them that the Pug is a dog.Allen joined the Vineyard staff in June of 1999, prior to his full time pastoral position he served as a teen leader and Life Group leader for several years in the Vineyard. Previously Allen worked as a Radiological Technologist at a local hospital. Darlin serves the church as a volunteer.Allen and Darlin have a heart to see God greatly impact Maine and are committed to helping people meet Jesus and walk with them in their journey. For the past several years, Allen has overseen the Pathway staff and the day to day operation of the church. Recently he has assumed the role of senior pastor of Pathway, an assignment with which he is honored and blessed. He looks forward to all the things God has in store for Pathway in the future!

Phil and Jan responded to the invitation of the Lord of the Harvest nearly 30 years ago. Their journey has been an exciting adventure of faith. Beginning in the 70's and through the 80's they served God together in both evangelistic efforts and church planting in South America. It was in the southern islands of Chile that Phil met the Vineyard and John Wimber via cassette. The Holy Spirit made it clear to Phil, "This is your tribe."The 90's found the Strouts with their two children Aaron and Jenna, back in the states. Both church planting and the nations continued to be a passionate pursuit. Phil worked with the churches of New England in the development and founding of IAM (now "MVM" for Maine Vineyard Missions), a local church-based missions' partnership. These churches united in a joint missional challenge to see a church planting movement in the Basque region of Spain. In the spring of '93, Phil and Jan lead a team to Portland, Maine to plant a Vineyard in Maine's largest city. They resigned from VCF of Greater Portland after eight years and worked full time with Vineyard USA on church mobilization toward the nations. He also traveled widely among the Vineyards with the "Father's Heart for the Nations" seminar.Phil is a current board member of Vineyard USA and serves as Regional Overseer for the Eastern Region churches.
