Around the Vineyard
back to topVineyard Leadership Institute
(VLI) was created to integrate hands-on training, ministry experience, spiritual formation, and academic understanding with an uncompromising commitment to excellence in biblical-theological, ministerial and spiritual-formational training.
The instructors are experienced pastors: recognized theologians who are committed to Vineyard-style ministry and who are experts in the fields that they teach.
The Vineyard Core Values
At a Vineyard pastors conference in September, 1992, founder John Wimber taught on 10 areas of ministry that were essential
to any Vineyard church. John called these areas the Vineyard Genetic Code because they are the common denominators
that identify us as a family.
A Vineyard experience typically includes:
Clear, accurate, Biblical teaching
Contemporary worship in the freedom of the Holy Spirit
The gifts of the Holy Spirit in operation
An active small group ministry
Ministry to the poor, widows, orphans and those who are broken
Physical healing with emphasis on signs and wonders as seen in the book of Acts
A commitment to missions - church planting at home and world missions abroad
Unity within the whole body of Christ; a relationship with other local churches
Evangelistic outreach
Equipping the saints in areas such as discipleship, ministry, serving, giving, finances, family, etc.
