What we do
Formation & Education
Whether you're just starting out or decades into ministry, there's a formation pathway designed to meet you where you are.
Local Church · Mentoring-Based
A nine-month formation program built around local mentoring relationships. Covers theology, spiritual formation, and core pastoral competencies — designed to be accessible for leaders in any Vineyard context.
Northern Seminary
A one-year graduate certificate offered in partnership with Northern Seminary. Combines rigorous biblical theology with practical ministry formation in a hybrid format accessible to working pastors.
Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary
A new master’s degree being developed in partnership with Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary. Oriented around Vineyard theology and values, with an emphasis on spiritual formation and missional engagement.
Partner Resource
On-demand video courses from leading theologians and scholars — accessible to your whole congregation, not just your pastoral staff.

Seminary Now brings seminary-quality theological education directly to churches through short-form video courses taught by leading scholars and theologians. Vineyard USA has partnered with Seminary Now to make this resource available to Vineyard churches at a discounted rate.
Courses cover biblical studies, church history, systematic theology, spiritual formation, and ministry practice — and are designed to be used in small groups, Sunday school contexts, or individual study.
Vineyard Scholars is a network of pastors, theologians, academics, and curious leaders who share a love for rigorous theological inquiry rooted in Vineyard faith and practice. Our annual Scholars conference is the heartbeat of this community.
