Show Podcast Information

In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Super Regional Leader Joel Seymour talks with Travis and Jennica Conklin about their early experiences with Jesus, marrying young, and joining a tiny church plant in Montana. Travis and Jennica share about discerning a call to plant in Goshen, IN, the season of preparation they used to get themselves and their finances in order before planting, and the growth the church experienced before and after COVID. Finally, they share some of the cool stories that have happened in their church in recent years. 

Travis Conklin is the Lead Pastor of The Vine Church in Goshen, IN. He grew up in the mountains of Montana and has been serving in ministry since his youth, and spent most of the first decade of marriage helping church plants. It was through helping other pastors with church planting that they discerned their calling to plant The Vine Church in 2014. Travis is a natural-born entrepreneur and often dreams up business ideas he’ll never use, just for the fun of it. In his free time, he prefers any activity that gets him outside and into the woods. He is passionate about helping people connect to God and each other through intentional relationships.

Jennica Conklin serves as the Discipleship and First Impressions Pastor at The Vine Church. Passionate about discipleship, Jennica loves helping others to know, love, and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Fun and joy for her come through things like jumping and screaming at concerts, dominating at game nights, playing in the waves of Lake Michigan, worship nights, or time with family. 

Travis and Jennica have three children: Ezekiel, Elliet and Judah.
