ABOUT VINCE ANTONUCCI
Pretty much everything Vince does is about daring to live a life of love, about embracing God's amazing grace, and sharing it with others.
He has that typical story, told too many times: Guy grows up in home with Jewish mother and gambling addict father, guy becomes a Christian in college by trying to prove the Bible isn’t true, guy leaves career in law to become a pastor, guy starts church in Virginia Beach that grows from four people to hundreds, guy leaves church in Virginia Beach to move to Las Vegas to start Verve, a church for people who work on and live around the Vegas Strip.
Vince is also the author of four books; I Became a Christian and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt, Guerrilla Lovers, Renegade: Your Faith Isn’t Meant To Be Safe, and God For The Rest Of Us.
You can also see him featured in the TV miniseries God For The Rest Of Us (2015) and Church For The Rest Of Us (2015).
