Bill and Melinda Laswell
We are, Bill and Melinda Laswell, the senior pastors at the Vineyard. We met at a Vineyard church in the Houston area over fifteen years ago. Now, married for almost three years, we have four amazing daughters and a growing number of grandchildren. WE love hanging out together, with others who love the Kingdom, and with people who don’t really connect with God. We share a strong commitment to church planting with the Vineyard Church of Brazosport which allows us the opportunity to train, assist, and raise up church planters in Mexico monthly. This is a calling and passion shared by us both well as the church. When we are not involved with these passions, we spend our spare time restoring an old home together.
Bill has been involved in the Vineyard movement for thirty years and has held pastoral roles for almost twenty. As senior pastor, his greatest role and pleasure is to see others take risk and move into the fullness of their gifts and calling. Prior to ministry, Bill worked in finance and aviation as a commercial pilot. He is a requested speaker in the area of missions for domestic and international venues.
Melinda works as a chemical engineer for a local company. She has been involved with the Vineyard for over fifteen years. She brings oversight to our healing ministries, and is sight director for the Vineyard Institute. She is an advanced Spanish speaker and plays a significant role in the work in Mexico.
