vineyard leadership institute

Vineyard Leadership Institute (VLI) was created to integrate hands-on training, ministry experience, spiritual formation, and academic understanding with an uncompromising commitment to excellence in Biblical-theological, ministerial and spiritual-formational training.

Our instructors are experienced pastors and recognized theologians committed to Vineyard-style ministry, experts in the fields that they teach.

  • Vineyard Leadership Institute is a two-year, part-time academic program.
  • We offer courses in Biblical studies and theology.
  • Our faculty is made up of professors qualified and experienced to teach at university and graduate levels.
  • VLI courses include interpreting Scripture, church planting, leadership, preaching and teaching, power ministry, counseling, spirituality and many others.

We offer a distinctive, cutting-edge, and empowering curriculum that allows students pragmatic training in church leadership as well as challenging studies into spirituality and theology.

Why choose VLI?

We have a mandate from Jesus to disciple the nations. This means we evangelize, plant and pastor churches, and raise up other leaders to do the same. Our vision is to train these emerging leaders. In contrast to traditional theological institutions, Vineyard Leadership Institute has the following advantages:

  • We train students practically, spiritually and academically for ministry in the context of the local church.
  • Students enjoy the benefits of hands-on ministry training.
  • Students develop a mentoring relationship with members of the pastoral staff.
  • At the same time, students receive excellent Biblical-theological instruction.
