NKU Wesley Foundation
WHO WE ARE
Â
Vine & Branches is an open community of Christian students on the campus of Northern Kentucky University. Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus through relationships to transform our campus and the world. We value community, hospitality and discipleship. We hope to help one another leave NKU not just with a degree, but a real sense of God's calling on our lives.
​
V&B, formerly known as the Northern Kentucky Wesley Foundation (still the official name of our non-profit), is a United Methodist campus ministry serving all students since 1976 on the ever-changing campus of Northern Kentucky University. We are open to all students, regardless of church affiliation.  We gather to worship, eat, to study, to serve, and to build community.  We’d love to connect with you!
​
We have a student center located adjacent to campus at 15 Clearview Drive, Highland Heights, KY 41076. Â Click here for a super fun map and directions.
OUR CAMPUS PASTOR
Our Campus Pastor is Dom Guido, who began ministry at Vine and Branches in Summer 2025. Pastor Dom was born and raised in Indiana, and attended Indiana University where between basketball games he majored in Religious Studies with minors in Classical Studies, History, and Economics. Pastor Dom attended seminary at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, and is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. He and his family have lived here in Northern Kentucky for seven years. During that time he served an ELCA congregation, as well as working on the Outdoor Ministries Board for the Indiana - Kentucky Synod of the ELCA.
​
In his spare time Pastor Dom loves following sports from the mainstream to the esoteric, and he has a great love for tabletop and role playing games. When the weather is agreeable, the Guidos also love to get out into nature with their loyal hound, Zuko.

Come in sometime and meet him!
