This document is the result of approximately ten years of work. The need for a statement of faith arose shortly after the beginning of the Vineyard movement in 1983. On one hand, we felt obliged to set forth our biblical and historically orthodox beliefs; on the other hand, we wanted to describe the values and priorities that make the Vineyard unique within the context of Evangelicalism.
VISION
To establish a church planting and renewal movement in Southern & Central Africa which is driven by a set of specific values, held together by adult relationships, and results in the planting of churches with a unique and recognizable ethos and style of ministry in pursuit of the mission given in Luke 4:16-18, Matt 28:19-20 and Acts 1:8.
