I am so glad that you have taken the time to get on our website to find out a little more about our church! My name is Kyle Strauser and I am the senior pastor at The Vine. I joined The Vine in January 2015 and I can honestly tell you that I love it here! We are a congregation of loving people that are dedicated to serving Jesus and one another. 

I have been married to my wife Christine for 29 years and I have two daughters Katie and Natalie. Christine works for all three Crawfordsville schools as a substitute teacher and loves what she does. Katie is a graduate of Milligan College in Johnson City, Tennessee and is a Registered Nurse. She wants to eventually be a midwife. Natalie is going to culinary school at Ivy Tech in Bloomington, Indiana, studying to be a chef. Christine has a degree in office management and I am a 2005 Graduate of Johnson Bible College in Knoxville, Tennessee with a dual major in The Bible and in New Testament Preaching.

I have been in ministry for almost 25 years and also worked for 10 years as a senior mechanical designer for Otis Elevator Company in Bloomington, Indiana before the Lord called me into ministry. I love people and love being a minister in the Lord’s church. There is nothing else in life that I would rather do more than serve in the church and be able to minister to God’s people as they also minister to me. My family and I have grown to love this community and we hope and pray that we can get to know you as well. So stop by The Vine and say Hi! We would love to meet you!

God Bless,

Kyle
