Leadership + Legacy
We're a movement of about 500 churches of various shapes & sizes committed to the practice and theology of the Kingdom of God.
Jesus came to demonstrate the rule and reign of God, and where God’s reign is expressed through His people – oppression and injustice can end. Vineyard churches confront injustice in many ways, working to end human trafficking, pursuing reconciliation, eradicating poverty, and caring for the environment. These problems are complex and interconnected, and by working together, we can do more effective work.
When God is at work through people, those who are on the fringes of society are reached with the love and goodness of the Father.
The Vineyard Justice Network is always working to help our churches see the least, the last, and the lost in their communities, and to be a healing presence.
VJN (which began as Vineyard Anti-Slavery Team) brings together the wisdom of our shared experience in serving and standing in solidarity with the poor and the least-of-these.
Our network already spans Vineyard churches across 32 states, in every region. We’re also engaged with sister networks in Vineyard Canada, UK & Ireland, and Vineyard Nordic.

We host a variety of articles on our website encouraging local church leaders to “do justice” in their town, city, and community.
VJN offers webinars on many topics pertinent to further equip the local church to take poverty and injustice seriously.
Consider your church’s domestic and international missions partnerships, and integrate anti-trafficking education and awareness for teams.
According to the Bible, we are all called to care about the environment. We are called to steward the resources God gives to us with respect and sensitivity.
