Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship

The Vineyard Movement is a combination renewal and church planting movement which can also be considered a Christian denomination. While often considered charismatic, some members prefer the term empowered evangelicals (a reference to the book Empowered Evangelicals by Vineyard pastors Rich Nathan and Ken Wilson) to reflect their roots in traditional Evangelicalism, as opposed to historic Pentecostalism (though members sometimes describe themselves as the radical middle between the two, this comes from the book The Qu ...

Vineyard Movement - Statement of Faith. For most of the early life of the Vineyard Movement, Vineyard churches had no official statement of faith. This should not be interpreted, however, as an absence of a common belief structure. Rather, the primary reasons such a statement of faith was absent were the demonstrative teaching of primary founder John Wimber, who effectively set the tone and doctrinal beliefs of the Movement, and a desire to reflect the "low-key," "low-pressure" environment of the church that emph ...

Christians who are at odds with Charismatics (often Southern Baptists and the various Reformed denominations) sometimes use the word in a derisive manner and generally believe and teach that Charismatics are everything from shallow to dangerous — even demon possessed, although this latter charge is increasingly rare as Charismatic and Pentecostal groups become more established in the American religious landscape.

Members also sometimes describe themselves as the "radical middle" between Evangelicals and Pentecostals, which is a reference t ...

The Vineyard has a highly decentralized organizational structure, reflecting the church's belief that local and regionally-based management, ministries and outreach are more effective than a highly centralized structure. The international headquarters of the Vineyard is currently located in Sugarland, Texas, though few, if any, major decisions are solely made there. In the United States, the Vineyard is divided into eight regions: Eastern, Southeast, Great Lakes, Midwest, Southwest, Greater Rocky Mountain, Western, and Northwest. Each ...
