Vineyard USA Leadership

The Leadership structure of Vineyard USA is designed to serve our local churches, across the nation, in becoming all that God has designed them to be. Our National Director, along with our Executive Team, Regional Leaders (RLs), and Area Pastors (APs) are committed to seeing our Vineyard core values embodied in local church pastors, leaders, and communities across the country. Our decentralized approach to leadership keeps us agile and flexible as the Vineyard Movement seeks to reach a changing world with a living Gospel.

Executive Team

The Executive Team of Vineyard USA is made up of leaders who bring influence and guidance to various aspects of our ministry development. Covering areas such as Church Planting, Missions, Small Church Development, Large Church Coaching, Regional Leader Coaching, Communications, Spiritual Formation, Women, Ethnic Diversity, Finances, Strategy, Education, Children, Youth, Young Adults, and Loving Your City, the Executive Team works with the National Director and National Coordinator to see Vineyard USA strengthened from within.

Regional Structure

The Vineyard Movement in the United States is divided into sixteen regions. Each region has clusters of churches grouped together by relationship and location. The pastoral support and care for these churches is facilitated by an Area Pastor (AP). These APs work together with their Regional Leader (RL) to provide leadership and encouragement to each local Vineyard church. See the Regional Map here.
