Vineyard Churches is a Church Planting movement, working across the UK & Ireland to plant new Churches and support those plants.
The Vineyard in the United Kingdom & Ireland is arranged into eight Areas to stimulate growth and provide pastoral care and ongoing training for Vineyard Churches and their Leaders:
Our definition of a church plant is a community of people who are gathering together with the desire to see a Vineyard Church established in their area. They will probably start meeting in various homes looking for ways to serve their local communities, renting various venues to tell their stories, throwing a party at every opportunity.
A church plant becomes an established church when it is meeting weekly with about 70 adults, running a children’s programme with other ministry areas developing.
A Future Church plant is where we have potential church planters in training who have a call and vision to see a Vineyard Church established in a particular town or city.
