The Trellis Story

Why Trellis?

Why “Trellis”? Our name comes from a vineyard experience in southern Brazil. As I held a cluster of ripe grapes, I realized how crucial the trellis was—not for producing the fruit—but for supporting the branches. Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” That’s what we do—we help support the branches of Christ’s church so they can thrive.
