We believe that the kingdom of God is the only cause really worth giving our entire lives to; the living-every-moment-of-the-day part, and the I'm-ready-to-die-for-this part. Seriously. And over the years of following Jesus, we've met many others who feel the same way.

Jamie Watters is just this kind of guy. He's been living it out for quite a while. He's the pastor of the Glasgow Westend Vineyard (Glasgow, Scotland) and will be speaking to us about why the kingdom of God is so valuably important to every part of life.

A Great Lakes Church Planting Boot Camp is coming up on September 9 & 10 at the Columbus Vineyard. This fall we will have two tracks running simultaneously - as we did last winter.

1. Discovery - this is a track for people considering planting a church. We'll take time to talk through what it takes to plant a church, what makes a successful planter, and pray for direction.

Jesus taught us that the Kingdom of God is the pearl of great price. As His kingdom people we have been given a great treasure. Let's share it with the world! Join us this summer in Sugar Land, Texas as we gather with others to seek the heart of the Lord and to listen for what He has to say. We’ll be inspired to step out into the dreams, callings and visions the Lord has for us.The kingdom is a cause to live for and a cause to die for. Will you join the Cause?

A conference for Young Adults and anyone who has sensed God's call to church planting or global missions.

This boot camp is for anyone remotely interested in exploring the possibility of planting a Spanish-speaking Vineyard church in the U.S. We will address fundamental questions such as "Am I a church planter?" "How do you plant a church?" and "Where do I start?" We will also have time for discussion, worship, fellowship and prayer.

We are all giving our lives to something, whether we realize it or not—which cause are you serving with your life? Jesus said that to save our lives, we must lose it. God is looking for people who are willing to lose their lives, to lay them down, for the sake of Jesus. You are invited to 2 days of intense soul searching and seeking of God’s will for our lives. We will be asking God to challenge us and move us out of our comfort zones. There will be worship, prayer, prophecy, and ministry as we share together in God’s stories of faithfulness and power in our lives.
