February 13 &14
Church Planting
Students
will learn the basic components of starting a new church: the call of the
leader, Vineyard's process for identifying and helping candidate church
planters, God's guidance, the pioneering church planting team, demographic
research, relationships with people socially well-connected to the target
area, stages of church growth, etc. In addition, an overview of the vital
signs, essential principles, and necessary practices of a healthy growing
church will be given.
March 12 &13
Church Growth
Students will be given an
overview of the vital signs, essential principles and necessary practices
of a healthy growing church. Other organizational aspects of various
church ministries will be discussed as well.
April 30 & May 1
John the Apostle speaks in different
tones in these three bodies of literature (the Gospel of John; 1, 2, 3
John; Revelation). However, their spiral structure and themes overlap
like the strands of a rope. The Gospel of John stands over against the
first three Gospels as a meditation written a theological generation
later. John addresses the churches of Asia Minor decades after Paul's
departure; and his message in the book of Revelation contributes a
distinctive visual and apocalyptic witness to the voice of the New
Testament. Johannine literature is rich in its teachings on the deity of
Christ, eternal life, the Holy Spirit, discernment and last things.
May 28 & 29
The literature of Hebrews, James, 1 & 2
Peter and Jude has challenged many interpreters with the issue of
diversity in the New Testament. James has been contrasted to Paul;
Hebrews has a unique perspective; Peter contains some of the most
difficult passages in the New Testament; and Jude's use of the
intertestamental books of 1 Enoch and the Assumption of Moses has
baffled many. Yet the early church fought to keep these books in the
canon to balance its witness to Jesus. To understand why this is so is
to round out one's knowledge of the message of the New Testament.
July 23 & 24
After studying each section of Scripture
in VLI, we want to ask what the whole Bible-as understood throughout the
history of the church-teaches about the major topics of the faith:
Authority of Scripture, God, Man, Christ, Salvation, the Church and Last
Things. In this postmodern era a fresh discussion about the nature of
biblical authority is needed. This first weekend intensive on Systematic
Theology will deal with the doctrines of Scripture, God and Man.
August 20 & 21
This second weekend intensive on
Systematic Theology will complete our survey of the great themes of the
Christian faith. We will study how the early church grappled with the
deity and humanity of Christ, how his life and death were effective for
our salvation, the nature and life of the church and what the Bible
teaches about the Last Things in God's plan for mankind and creation
(including death and resurrection, heaven and hell and the regeneration
of the cosmos).
October 22 & 23
Intensive: Healing I – Physical
Afflictions
The Vineyard is not only evangelical in doctrine but embraces the
empowering of the Holy Spirit to heal the sick, cast out demons and do
the miraculous to advance the Kingdom of God and glorify His name. In
this course physical healing and the gifts of the Holy Spirit will be
emphasized. This class will focus on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit,
the values and practices of Jesus' healing ministry and practical
instructions and guidelines for a balanced healing ministry. We will
have "clinic" times in class where we wait on the Holy Spirit, ask Jesus
to minister in power ("do the stuff"), and point out what God is doing
for the benefit and instruction of the students.
November 19 & 20
Intensive: Healing II – Emotional & Demonic
Afflictions
This intensive takes
up where the Healing I: Physical Afflictions, left off. This course
deals with healing people from damaged emotions and demonic bondages.
Our assumption is that Jesus Christ heals people not only physically but
also spiritually and emotionally. Students will learn about breaking the
power of traumatic memories as well as helping people walk away from
them towards freedom in Christ. In addition, instruction will be given
on detecting demonic influence that hinders people's walk with Christ
and how to break its power over them.
