Vineyard Leadership Institute

What is VLI?

Vineyard Leadership Institute is a two year program that offers serious courses in biblical studies and theology taught by professors qualified and experienced to teach at university and graduate levels. Our practical courses in interpreting scripture, church planting, leadership, preaching and teaching, power ministry, counseling, spirituality, etc. are distinctive, cutting-edge, and empowering.

Why VLI?

We have a mandate from Jesus to disciple the nations. This means we evangelize, plant, and pastor churches; and we raise up other workers and leaders to do the ministry of the Kingdom of God. How and where will these emerging leaders be trained? The track record of traditional theological institutions that are abstracted from the life of the local church has not been good. However, at the Vineyard Leadership Institute we can train students practically, spiritually, and academically for the ministry in the context of the local church. In this way, students get hands-on ministry training, mentoring from a pastoral staff, and excellent biblical-theological instruction.

VLI is much more intensive than VBI, so we encourage you to check the VBI link and compare the two courses of study.  You can click on the logo above for more information about VLI.  If you are interested in VLI, please contact your Home Group leader.
