Nick has been leading worship for over 30 years in Cincinnati. He started leading in high school and quickly found out that there is power in singing songs to God. That was made abundantly clear when he and his family first joined the Vineyard Church. The supernatural connection that was being made whenever people were openly praising Him made Nick want more than anything to help lead people to His presence. Nick, his wife, Diane, and kids live in Deer Park, but have found a home at Vineyard Finneytown. Their family enjoys riding roller coasters, shopping at record stores, and cheering on their favorite sports team, FC Cincinnati.

Denise has always been a believer in Jesus but never felt she had a church home until she walked into Vineyard Finneytown on that one Sunday in March of 2022 and felt instantly at home! She had her first Holy Spirit encounter at the Alpha retreat in 2023 and has continued to have more! She now encounters God working in multiple ways daily.

She had a 38-year career in nursing from a nurse assistant to RN holding numerous positions over the years before retiring in 2020.

She felt a personal calling to help at the church office and is now working what she always dreamed of — working 2 days a week and off 5 days a week. She loves helping others and prefers behind the scenes rather than the spotlight.

She is married with 3 grown daughters and 3 grandchildren (2 boys and 1 girl) all in the Cincinnati area. Denise loves spending time with family, friends, and neighbors. She enjoys fires inside or outdoors, worship music, Bengals football, and just being around good people.
