In leadership, example is everything and what we model is what will be replicated within our teams and with our children. In this seminar we hear from a panel of kids pastors from a variety of settings about how to best set a culture to see their teams and children thrive.

We’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts and heard the stories. But as leaders, how do we live so that we’re “doing the stuff” every day both in and outside the church? Listen to hear how we develop a Kingdom mindset, reawaken hunger for things of the Spirit post-covid, and grow a prophetic culture in our churches that overflows into "normal life". You might already be well down this road and simply looking for a few tips, or perhaps you’re weary and needing encouragement to take the next step.  Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.

Having experienced the pressures of a pandemic for the last two years, many senior leaders will now be turning their thoughts towards a potential sabbatical. But what makes a great sabbatical? And what makes a great sabbatical even greater? This seminar is primarily for pastors and trustees, and is designed to help them think through all the issues involved and get the very most from the experience. Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.

“You’re not a success until you’ve had a successful succession.” (Pete Grieg) As lead pastors, the effort we put into recruiting, training and preparing our successor can be a source of rich blessing for the church that we have already poured our heart & soul into. This seminar explores various aspects of pastoral succession, particularly hearing from Toby & Carol and Jim & Rachel about the handover process at Kingdom Vineyard in 2018. Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.

Mental health has barely been out of the headlines in recent months; but why is it so important? And what does it mean for us and our churches? How has the pandemic changed us? How do we, the Church, step up and make a difference in our communities? Join Patrick Regan OBE, as we seek to improve our understanding of mental health and explore how a robust and practical theology of mental health can enable our churches and wider communities to provide and find safe, supportive and welcoming space. Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.

Two years of pandemic mean that we have all been through a season of collective trauma - though for some that will look more explicitly traumatic in terms of loss/grief/change than others. But why HAS this season been so psychologically traumatic? And how does our faith and knowledge of God and the Bible shape the way we work through that so we can feel more like our normal selves again - and support others who are struggling to return to their pre pandemic life? Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.

"We see God's vision for diversity throughout the whole of scripture, and we have an opportunity to see it and step into it now. It's not simply a Revelation picture for the future… because we're Kingdom people, we are commissioned to bring about the Kingdom here and now." - Josh Kay At the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022 we were honoured to hear from Alareen Farrell, Josh Kay and Olu Meduoye as we continued the important conversation on how to become more ethnically diverse communities.

We sense this is a significant moment for students of the Vineyard. Out of a season of trial and discomfort, hope always emerges. There is a marking on this generation to step into the story of God at University, and see the Kingdom of God released in remarkable ways. This is a moment to say yes again to the radical call of life with Jesus for the sake of students. Don’t settle for less than His call and His cause. Don’t settle for the comfortable, and don’t be content with compromise.This is your time. This is your turn. Let’s go students! In this seminar, recorded at The Cause to Live For 2021, Josh explored what it looks like to be part of a wild fire Jesus-movement on campuses across the nation. 

What does worship look & sound like in post-covid world? What role does worship play in church planting & mission? How do worship leaders and songwriters navigate the global worship soundscape to find an authentic voice? What do vineyard worship values mean for young adults in the 2020’s?  In this seminar, recorded at The Cause to Live For 2021, Nigel Hemming hosts a conversation with Adam Russell & Harvey Kwiyani exploring these questions.

Christianity is no longer the dominant worldview of the West. So how do we follow Jesus in a society that is walking away from him? Is it possible to live in a way that engages with and blesses the culture we find ourselves in whilst honouring the way of Jesus? What are some of the challenges and opportunities we have in a post-Christian, post-truth world? Does how we live even matter any more? In this seminar, recorded at The Cause to Live For 2021, Amy & Paul discuss the invitation of Jesus to our generation and why the hope of the gospel is as important as it’s ever been.

Many of us are facing significant decisions about our future. We’re asking, “What should I do with my life?" "Should I take this job or pass it up?" "Should I stay or move?" These moments can frequently feel confusing and overwhelming. Often we’re unsure how to balance the competing priorities of careers, church and our own wellbeing.  In this seminar, recorded at The Cause to Live For 2021, Jamie & Kath look at the place of our ‘work’ within the wider Kingdom story, sharing personal experiences of making big decisions and unpacking some core questions that can serve as a practical guide for us in these moments. Jamie and Kath are the lead pastors of Herald Vineyard Liverpool, a recent church plant in Liverpool city centre. Between them they have relocated city five times, taken three jobs, quit three jobs, changed career twice and self-funded their way through three years of theological study. They now spend most of their time pastoring people in their twenties.
