2021 – First Steps
The founding partners gathered to work together on a large development project for the Adventist Review it was challenging, but exhilarating.
Blue Vineyard was founded in 2021 by CEO Luke Farrugia, following the opportunity to deliver an ambitious web project for the Adventist church. Recognising the opportunity to do more than deliver a website, he brought together a team of specialists who shared a passion for both technology and mission.
What started as one project quickly grew into something bigger.
Today, Blue Vineyard partners with organisations across, education, healthcare, not-for-profit and ministry, creating tailored digital solutions and purpose-built products that help organsations work smarter, communicate more efficiently and achieve greater impact.
While the business has grown, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to equipping Adventist organisations to fulfil their mission through tailored technology.
Our name reflects both our purpose and our approach. "Blue" represents blue ocean thinking - finding opportunities where others see limitations. "Vineyard" is inspired by John 15, reminding us that lasting growth comes from remaining connected to the true Vine. Together, the name reflects our calling: using technology to strengthened organisations and support work that makes a lasting difference.
Built for mission.
Shared
globally.
Blue Vineyard is committed to the global Adventist community. We provide the technology, communication, and digital solutions that help conferences, ministries, schools, healthcare organisations, and nonprofits fulfill their mission more effectively.
We understand the unique realities of Adventist organisations: distributed structures, volunteer-powered teams, and a commitment to making every investment count. That understanding shapes everything we create.
And because we’re part of this ecosystem, nothing we learn stays locked in one project. Every organisation we partner with teaches us something new. We capture those learnings, refine our thinking, and cultivate those insights for the whole mission ecosystem, from education to healthcare, from ministry to nonprofit. Every solution we build is shaped by this ecosystem and built specifically for your organisation.
