Their certification means our students will be supported from day one by trained providers who presume competence and know how to help a nonspeaking learner find their voice, one letter at a time. Please join us in congratulating them both!

Together in Person

Our Team's First In-Person Meeting.

✦

This fall, the True Vine Mission team gathered for our very first in-person meeting in McKinney, Texas — and what an amazing time it was! After months of calls and video meetings, sitting around the same table to pray, dream, and plan together was a true gift.

Our focus was the opening of our pilot program in February 2027. Every conversation brought us closer to the day we welcome our very first students and families through the doors.
