Christopher Greco and his wife, Dorothy, have lived in the Boston area for 30 years, having met as students at Boston University shortly after each became a follower of Jesus. For the past 15 years, they have been leading prayer-based discipleship programs for men and women seeking healing in areas of relational and sexual brokenness. They especially enjoy the challenges and pleasures of serving as a couple, and with a team, as in-process healers.
Christopher arrived at the Vineyard in 1998, as the church’s founding worship and arts pastor, after directing theatre and music in college, high and middle school settings. Christopher has been collaborating with Canadian worship leader, Brian Doerksen, on a new musical based on the parable of the lost son. Prodigal God was released in October 2010 (www.prodigal-god.com), and is being produced for podcast, film and stage in the coming years. Three other plays were awarded best one act by Christians in Theatre Arts (CITA): The Last Set From Hell, An Appearance of the Blessed Virgin at a Brookline Health Clinic, and This Waking Moment. The full-length version of This Waking Moment premiered at FireExit Theatre in Calgary last fall.
His live worship CD, We Will Not Give Up, released in 2003, is available through our bookstore. Five of his original worship songs are featured on the Greater Boston Vineyard's newly released CD, First Songs (1998-2007), which is also available here and through iTunes and CD Baby.
Dorothy is a freelance photojournalist (www.dorothygrecophotography.com), and former home-school educator of their three sons, Anthony, GianCarlo, and Matthew. The boys are Celtic-Red Sox-Patriots-Bruins fans to the core, and Mama and Papa are known to get all worked up too, especially in the post-season.

Dana hails from Ohio following a stint in Maryland getting a liberal arts degree. After that first bachelor's degree, he came to Boston to attend Berklee and to get a second degree.
He first attended the fledgling Cambridge Vineyard in 2001 when it met in the Morse Elementary School gymnasium in Cambridgeport. Dana got involved in a Sunday ministry, ultimately joining the worship team, and attended a small group where he and Lydia, his wife of 8 years, met. A year after their first child was born, he came on staff in 2006 to join Christopher Greco in the worship ministry.
