Four:One

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.

Discipleship Year
Darlington Vineyard Church
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sacrifice a year of your life in pursuit of all that God has for you? Here at Darlington Vineyard Church we want to invite you to invest a year of your life with us while we invest everything we can in you to see your unique gifts and talents released for His Kingdom. 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.

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.
