Hope Vineyard Oxford
What treasure has God given you? If you’re curious to find out and want to make space to hear from God and be intentional about practicing the way of Jesus then we’d love to hear from you.
You’ll have opportunities both to be reflective and active, to hear and digest great teaching as well as serve and see the workings of a church plant up close. All this will be done in community where you’ll develop relationships we hope will come to feel like family.
The year will run from September 2020 to July 2021 and you will commit to being available on Fridays during this time.
If you’re keen for an adventure living in God’s kingdom and want to discover more please contact: [email protected]
WILD
Vineyard 53 (Chester and West)
Something about the word wild, nicely summed up the essence of the year being planned when it was mentioned in a meeting back in October 2018. There’s a song that was written at Vineyard 53 where God’s love is expressed as a river running wild. Something that sweeps us up, fills us with a new kind of life and power, and takes us on adventures and to new places as we reach out to build God’s kingdom.
During the WILD year we want to give you an opportunity to worship, invest, learn and dream, as you grow as a follower of Jesus, and get more involved in our V53 family.
WILD is a part-time programme that runs from September to July.
To find out more contact Rachel Holloway or visit our website.
Four:One
Manchester Vineyard
Four:One is based on Ephesians 4:1, which encourages us to “live a life worthy of our calling, for we have been called by God.”
Four:One is a year tailored towards serving God in a variety of ways, stepping out of your comfort zone, supporting church ministry at Manchester Vineyard and growing and learning in community. In doing this we have seen people discover and step further into the call God has on their life.

We want to ignite what is inside of you over 10 months, to see you live in the freedom that God has for you whilst you explore your calling and walk in the spiritual authority that is available for you.

Discipleship Year
York Vineyard
John Wimber, founder of the Vineyard movement, once said: ‘I want to grow up before I grow old. Initial conversion doesn’t ensure Christian maturity. We must be willing to patiently submit to and cooperate aggressively with the process of discipleship, understanding that there are no shortcuts to maturity.’
The Discipleship Year at York Vineyard is an opportunity to commit yourself wholeheartedly to this process of discipleship. Throughout the year we will mentor you; provide you with practical tools and advice; encourage and foster independent study and reflection; and give you the opportunity to serve the church in a variety of ways. The aim is that you will grow closer to God, grow in knowledge of God, grow in gifting, grow in servant heartedness, grow in character and grow in experience.

BVAdvance
Birmingham Vineyard
BV Advance is a year for those who want to intentionally pursue their leadership calling in a varied, full-time programme, seeking to develop and stretch their unique gifts. During the year there will be many opportunities to serve others and grow your relationship with Jesus in a church whose vision is to bring life to the city of Birmingham. As we do this together we will explore your calling, invite you to learn new skills and give you opportunities to grow in leadership.

Discipleship Year
Winchester Vineyard
We often say that ‘discipleship is systematically rearranging our lives so we’re more like Jesus’. The DY is an amazing opportunity to give yourself wholeheartedly to this process for a year, where together we will explore your calling in life, invite you to learn new skills and give you opportunities to grow in your gifts.
This is more than a year out, it is 11 months to intentionally learn, serve & grow. DY is a year where we place ourselves before God and allow Him to be the one that shapes us, and helps us to become more like Jesus in every area of our lives.

Encounter School of Mission
Causeway Coast Vineyard
Encounter School of Mission is a 9 month journey of personal identity, spiritual authority, and equipping individuals to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the world.
ESOM is not your typical Ministry School with 40% input, and 60% output. Our focus is on activating students in their spiritual gifts, and promoting a value for practical ways of loving the community.
Classroom time is designed to challenge, inspire, and to bring teaching that brings you closer to the Father. There is a wide variety of In-house and guest speakers throughout the ESOM year. Including Peter Lynas, Mark Marx, Neil & Janet Young, Tre Sheppard, Mike Pilavachi, and Wayne Drain. Encountering his presence is a priority throughout the year. ESOM creates a space for the Holy Spirit to move in whatever way he wants to.
Alongside the ESOM program, there are Internships. Interns serve alongside different ministries at Causeway Coast Vineyard. They are a full-time commitment, equipping and providing opportunities for leadership development. Internships are available in the areas of Community Engagement, Media & Communications, ESOM, Missions, Worship, Vineyard Compassion, Youth, Kids, Education, and Operations here at CCV.
In addition to all of this ESOM, also provides opportunities to build intentional community and life-long friendships through retreat, small groups, and other social activities throughout the year.
Closing Date: 31st July 2020
Applicants who live outside of the European Union must apply by 30 June 2020 to allow for visa processing time.
