Training & Development
Internship Year
The Internship Year is based on Ephesians 4:1, which encourages us to “live a life worthy of our calling, for we have been called by God”. It’s a year where you’ll grow spiritually within a community, serve the church in a variety of ministry areas and be on mission to see the Kingdom extend in the city of Manchester. We anticipate that during the year God will shape you and release you into more of your calling.
Leadership Essentials
Covering many of the most important and foundational aspects of leadership, Leadership Essentials is the perfect place to grow in understanding and insight alongside others.
It is a 2 year programme made up of a series of 18 pre-recorded video sessions delivered by leaders from across the Vineyard movement, both nationally and internationally. These sessions are centred around the Five Characteristics of a Pioneering Leader, and acts as an introduction to leadership skill and responsibility.

Vineyard Leadership College
Vineyard Leadership College is a year-long intensive part-time programme for those experiencing a compelling call to leadership and seeking to invest in that call in an intentional and deliberate way. It is a church-based, multi-campus, multi-disciplinary training programme for Vineyard Churches in the UK and Ireland.

Vineyard Theology
Vineyard Theology aims to promote head and heart understanding of the Bible, so that the way we do church is constantly being shaped by an informed, Spirit-led interpretation of God’s word.
Through Vineyard Theology you will be trained with high-quality theological education, integrated with spiritual transformation so that you are prepared for Kingdom work at any level in the church and in the world. If you are interested in developing your leadership through theological, Biblical and practical application, then Vineyard Theology is for you.
There are a number of modules available through an online training platform.

Church Planting Academy
If we are going to see people give themselves to church planting, giving up everything to plant, we owe it to them to send them as best we can. We are believing for something significant for Greater Manchester & the North West.
The Church Planting Academy includes individually tailored involvement in some of our other leadership development programmes, engagement with recommended reading material, and attendance at monthly Church Planting Development evenings and national Vineyard events.
