Training Over Two Years

The pioneering leader programme is a two year rolling enrolment programme. Once you have applied, training will take place monthly - nine times a year in over 20 learning communities around the country. Additional experience is gained in the local church leading right where you are.

The Aim of Hub

The aim of Hub is to develop the relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the next generation of pioneering leaders who will go on to plant churches, transition or join a staff of existing churches, or a leader who is endeavouring to multiply their leadership in a local church setting.

Hub Sessions

A Hub session would include excellent pre-recorded teaching with clear learning outcomes and facilitated group discussion during the evening. You’ll reflect on what you’re learning then apply that to your leadership during the following month.

Characteristics of a Pioneering Leader

Hub and the curriculum is focused on the essential characteristics of a pioneering leader: (1) Vision and Calling, (2) Spiritual and Emotional Capacity, (3) Gathering and Mission, (4) Communication, (5) Leadership and Multiplication

Cost

Hub is free to those recommended by their senior pastor and is financed by Vineyard Churches and the hosting churches. We are grateful for this investment and expect the highest commitment from our students as they invest and develop ministry skills in their local churches.

Additional Learning Opportunity

As well as the core Hub training, there are also other learning opportunities to deepen your understanding of specific topics. An additional online lesson, in the form of webinar based discussions and Q&A’s, is offered once a term. Other resources for lifelong learning are also available on Vineyard Training - topic specific modules are recommended each term in the Hub syllabus.
