Church Planting Task Force
The goal of the Church Planting Task Force is to release healthy, fully functioning churches which in turn can plant healthy reproducing churches.
For more information about the Program, please go to Vineyard Columbus
Our team of church plant coordinators (CPCs), who are also local church pastors, identify, assess, train, deploy and coach church planters in every region of the country.
Our Vision For Church Planting
As a movement, we want to plant churches which exhibit the following traits:
- A commitment to worship and serve the Triune God revealed in Jesus Christ
- A focus on building communities of faith that worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness
- A desire to grow as Spirit-filled communities that hear - and obey - His voice
- A compassion that leads to training and equipping the church community to serve the poor, the lost, and the sick
- An outward-focused passion that goes out in the power of the Spirit to do the works of the Kingdom of God, making disciples, planting reproducing churches, and taking the gospel to the nations
CHURCH PLANTING RESIDENCY PROGRAM at VINEYARD COLUMBUS
The Church Planting Residency Program at Vineyard Columbus exists to identify, train, equip, and release church planters by bringing together the best church planting practices that we've learned from having planted 24 churches. The Program is a year-long, intensive leadership development, spiritual growth, theological training, and ministry skill development experience at Vineyard Columbus. As a Resident, you will be given the opportunity to learn from some of the most experienced and creative pastors who have a successful track record in church multiplication at Vineyard Columbus. You will have the opportunity to participate in the day-to-day activities of church staff culture, develop yourself as a leader, expand your theological education, deepen your Vineyard values, and sharpen your church planting skills and plan for the launch of your new church. It our deepest desire to see every Vineyard church become active in planting passionate, mature, and reproducing churches. If you are a Vineyard church looking to plant, Vineyard Columbus would be thrilled to discuss ways that we can partner with you.National Team
