Empowering Vineyard church planters and their sending churches.
For over 50 years Vineyard has planted churches in towns and cities across the U.S. and around the world, creating communities of hope that gather people to Jesus.Â
We work in collaboration with local sending churches and trans-local leadership to provide church planters with a strong foundation for health and growth. The team guides church planters through the four step Church Planting Process to help them be successful in their calling.
If you feel called to plant a Vineyard Church, you are in the right place! We are here to help!
The potential church planter prayerfully seeks to understand God’s leading alongside their personal calling. Trusted leaders from the local church and region/area are invited to provide feedback and insight to help the potential church planter gain both clarity and confirmation.
A multi-step process whereby the potential church planter is involved in both self-assessment and external evaluation. This process helps identify areas of strength and areas for growth and development that might be useful to include in the training phase.
Potential church planters receive customized training based on needs identified in the assessment phase with the goal of a well-defined church planting proposal that outlines the vision, mission, values, target demographic, outreach strategy, leadership development plan, and financial projections.
Upon completion of the training phase and the necessary paperwork for launch, the new church is officially released as a Vineyard church that can use the Vineyard name and available resources.
