We Are Vineyard Christian Dunn: Do For The One What You Wish You Could Do For The Many
In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay chats with Christian Dunn about how well the church cared for his family during a hard time in his childhood, being empowered to lead a youth group as a teenager, and launching a youth conference that drew hundreds of teens. They discuss the value of fluid spaces that church members can move in and out of for connection and training and the relational magic that happens before and after structured church meetings. Christian talks about the biggest changes he’s noticed in youth ministry over the last years, the things he’s praying for right now in Vineyard Youth, and some thoughts for senior pastors.
Christian, and his wife Mandy, live with their four amazing kids in southeastern Pennsylvania. He worked in youth ministry for 20+ years before planting CityLight Vineyard Church in 2017. He has had the pleasure of serving as the leader of the East Region for over a decade, and is currently serving as the National Youth Director. He is the author of “Finding the One: How Dating Prepares You For Marriage” and “More Than Spectators: Empowering Teens for Ministry.”
