About the Society of Vineyard Scholars

 

Mission

The mission of the Society of Vineyard Scholars is to develop and nurture a community of theological discourse among the scholars, graduate students, seminarians, and all others who like to think theologically in the Vineyard movement.

We will facilitate:

The Diversity of Language on the topic of Diversity

An intriguing challenge that often arises when we have conversations about ethnic diversity is the challenge of what words to use.

Case in point, our upcoming Diverse Pastor Projects had a subtitle using the phrase "people of color" which is a hotly debated phrase. Some people love it. Some people hate it. Some people are indifferent because even if they are an ethnic minority, the color of their skin is white and not a color. But then, isn't white a color too?!

Kids Ministry Task Force

The mission of the Kids’ Ministry Task Force is to speak up for kids. Our goal is to support Vineyard Churches as they reach out to kids by creating a body of peers who can provide support, encouragement and problem solving ideas.

Youth Task Force

In January 2009 Craig Beyer was selected as the National Youth Task Force Director. Craig is one of the founding members of Vineyard North Phoenix and has been a board member, small group leader, Children's and Youth ministry leader. In March 1999, he joined the North Phoenix staff as full-time Youth Pastor. He has served as a youth task force member in the Southwest Region for 6 years.

Craig and his wife Tami have four children: Alecia, Amy, Lindsay, and Adam.

Worship Task Force

Purpose:

The purpose of the Worship Task Force is to cultivate and empower the core value of worship in the Vineyard. The means by which we will accomplish this is as follows:

• Encourage and develop an authentic sense of community and connectedness amongst the worship leaders of American Vineyard churches.

• Provide pastoral care for the worship leading community.

• Provide avenues for equipping and training in theology, heart, and skill surrounding worship leadership.

Mercy Response Partnership

Mission: Responding to Crisis and Suffering with Kingdom Mercy and Hope

Mercy Response has recently undergone some changes effective September 1, 2011. It is no longer a ministry administered through the national office of Vineyard USA and is now a Partnership. The Vineyard Church of New Orleans will act as the leadership church and coordinate the efforts of the Mercy Response Partnership. A board of 4-6 people will be developed to represent the interests and carry out the vision.

Ethnic Diversity Task Force

Why Ethnic Diversity?

You may have noticed that, as a movement, the Vineyard is pretty white. (Very white, in fact.) But that's changing in some fundamental ways that give us great hope for the future.

Vineyard Church Planting

Our vision is to extend the kingdom of God by helping our local churches fulfill their God-given call to plant churches.
