The congregation has been called together to be an international, multi-cultural community in and to (but not limited to) the English-speaking community in the north of the Netherlands.

Policy

Vineyard Groningen intends to achieve it's objective in the coming years by:

Discipleship

Fully integrate and embed discipleship in the life of our church to make following Jesus a lifestyle. We intend to achieve this by:

Offering a diverse level of trainings
Integrating discipleship with other ministries
Involving others in the prophetic and hearing from God
Community service ‘helping the poor’
Stimulating people in reading their Bible [what is God saying to me?] and acting upon it (being doers of the Word)
Mission as part of discipleship
On a daily basis taking people along; one-on-one to help people understand and grow

Worship

Help to discover worship as a lifestyle; learning to live lives for the glory of God, under the Lordship of Christ (worship beyond singing). We intend to achieve this by:

Making worship, prophetic and the supernatural more part of the natural we do
Worship leaders being trained

Creating an inspirational community in terms of worship and service
Spiritual growth as focal point for the home/small groups
Intentional multiplication of teaching ministry
