Goal was to identify fault lines in how we support our local churches & make recommendations for how Vineyard USA can thrive into the future. Â
March 2020 - Why, how, and who announced to Vineyard USA leaders
Oct 2020 - Initial recommendations
March 2021 - Conclusions delivered to Executive Team; ReOrg complete
For the first time we have hired a full-time National Leadership Team to help support local Vineyard churches.Â
Pastoral Health and Development
Church Health and Development
Evangelism and Justice
Theology and Education
If you know someone who would be a good candidate for one of these full-time roles, please encourage them to apply before May 31!Â
Through 2021 we worked through key transitions and as of 2022 move into a new season informed by the ReOrg work of the previous two years. Â
The ReOrg process made very clear that we need to be better at supporting pastors locally, especially in this moment when demands on them are becoming greater, whether they are full-time, part-time, or bivocational. This new structure will allow us to become a strongly connected national family of healthy churches – each individual and interdependent, more transparent, and more accountable to each other.

The world has changed in all sorts of dramatic ways in the last forty years. We know that today there are new and different challenges to reaching people with the good news of the Kingdom of God, as well as more demands on our pastors than there ever were in the past. While life itself involves constant change, the pace of change is now quicker than ever.
Throughout our life together as a movement, we have earnestly responded to God’s call – and our response has borne much fruit. We now need to focus on how we continue to do so for the next forty years. It is time for us to reimagine our approach to our shared mission, embracing the changes necessary for us to thrive as a Kingdom movement in the midst of our changing culture. Please join us in stewarding this sacred trust into the future.Â
Even in the midst of COVID, together we saw over 5,000 people make first time decisions to follow Jesus and planted 23 new churches through creative means. We are considered a multiracial movement having over 26% non-majority racial make up. We have a unique call to Kingdom theology, ministry of the Holy Spirit, justice, and building healthy leaders.
God is doing great things among us! We believe that this is just the beginning.Â
