Core Values of the Vineyard

Phil Strout, Vineyard USA National Director, introduces the Vineyard Core Values. #VineyardGlobalFamily

In the Vineyard, we see Jesus’ teaching on the kingdom of God as the overarching and integrating theme of the Scriptures. Therefore, we are committed to both PROCLAIM the Kingdom of God, and bear witness to the DEEDS of the Kingdom through healing (physical, emotional, and social), doing justice, and delivering those held captive by evil. We want to see what the Father is doing and join Him in His transforming work of lives and communities.

The triune God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—is eager to be known and experienced by all. We believe that God is searching for the lost and longs to draw us into loving, intimate relationship with him. We welcome God’s personal presence, we seek to be attentive to His presence, and we value the passionate pursuit of His presence in order to respond in obedience to His initiatives.

Our mission to see lives transformed, the sick healed, the dead raised, the abused restored, and communities restored is impossible without God. We seek the Holy Spirit, our helper and guide, to show us how to engage and empower us to do (John 5:19).

The Church exists for the sake of those who are exiled from God. We are called to bring the Gospel of the kingdom to every nook and cranny of creation, faithfully translating the message of Jesus into language and forms that are relevant to diverse peoples and cultures. To this end, we promote a creative, entrepreneurial, and innovative approach to ministry that is faithful to Jesus and expressive of His heart to reach those who are far away from God.

Jesus is reconciling people to God, to each other, and to the entire creation. Therefore, we are committed to being a community of healing and diversity, engaged in the work of breaking down barriers of race, culture, gender, social class and ethnicity.

We believe that ministry in Jesus’ name should be expressed in concrete ways to the oppressed, marginalized, broken and hurting without bias. Compassion should constitute the leading edge of our service to God, each other, and our broken world. With humility, we seek to avoid unauthorized judgments of others, realizing that we suffer and struggle along with the rest of humanity.
