Alternative Missions Announces the Public Release of VineAge.com

Ridgway, CO - Alternative Missions, a mission organization committed to finding “creative ways of reaching the world”, is releasing a new community based social networking site called VineAge - “Where the Church Freely Grows“.  VineAge.com is designed to enable the formation of missional Christian communities.  VineAge.com provides free web sites and a set of powerful, yet simple tools, to enable Christ followers to develop a unique web presence for their community.  Alternative Missions’ founder and Director Tom Hackett describes the VineAge project in this way,

“VineAge endeavors to facilitate a network of Christian communities that acknowledges every believer, empowers social networks, encourages creative expression, and facilitates the global church.”
 
VineAge.com is built on top of the open source WordPress blogging platform.  WordPress is a proven technology and provided a stable base for the newly formed social networking site.  A team of web designers and developers have extended WordPress to add stronger content management, event scheduling and community membership features.  The result is a hybrid web tool that has website, blog and event scheduling capabilities with additional tools being developed.  The teams’ primary aim was to add elements that are essential for community interaction while maintaining a simple administrative interface.  

Starting and/or joining a VineAge.com community is free so surf on over to www.vineage.com and join today!
