Our Mission to participate in the spread of the Kingdom of God through the work of the local church, which conveys the gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed. What we believe Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of Light; true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried. And the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; whose Kingdom shall have no end. And [we believe] in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets. In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. "There is only one ministry ... It is the ministry of Jesus! The more you simply adapt your life to His words and deeds, the more effective the ministry around you will be. ” John Wimber Vineyard Ukraine Partnership Local churches that love God and those around them Jeremy Cook Partnership of Ukraine VCUKI Simply put, church planting is how we understand our mission.

The Bible The most popular and most important book in the world The best-seller - every year! People died to translate it, and now you can read it on your phone! Try it! Bible KINGDOM MERCY JOHN WIMBER Our Christian life begins with God's forgiveness and continues day by day with the same forgiveness. But it is difficult for many of us to let go of fear and guilt and accept the forgiveness that God generously offers. In The Kingdom of Mercy, John Wimber emphasizes that we must be not only forgiven people, but also those who forgive. He tells us that forgiveness is the key to living in God's power. Kingdom Mercy THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL GROUPS IN THE CHURCH John Wimber A young pastor from the Vineyard recently asked me, "Do you appreciate small groups?" My immediate response was laughter. Then I realized that he was asking seriously, and I almost cried. What a surprise that someone in the Vineyard - especially the leader - thinks I don't appreciate small groups. I think that clarifying my personal history and my point of view on this important issue will help us. Homegroups POWER EVANGELISM John Wimber and Kevin Springer The process of spiritual growth is characterized by certain key moments, which I call moments of power. Moments of power are based on our interaction with objective indicators of basic Christian truths that guide us towards maturity. If we strictly follow them, they change the direction of our lives. They change the direction of our lives, primarily by changing us. They change our thoughts about God, about ourselves and about the people around us. They also change the way we live. (our very life-?) As we approach each sign, we become a little more like Jesus, reflecting new aspects of His character and work. Power Evangelism OUR THEOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY For a number of years, I reflected on the purpose and mission of the church. Hundreds of books have been written about the church as people of God, about the body of Christ, about communion with the Holy Spirit. I do not claim more than a basic knowledge of what God wants to do today in and through the church. I'm still studying. In this article, I want to take a few modest steps in expanding the boundaries of what we understand about the church as a Messianic society, and applying it to the Vineyard movement. The Theology Power Healing JOHN WIMBER AND KEVIN SPRINGER I thank God for the book Healing by the Power of the Holy Ghost. I say this not because I consider Divine healing to be the most important experience in the Christian life. And I also say this not because this book answers all the difficult questions about divine healing. No, I thank God for “Healing by the Power of the Holy Ghost,” because this book reminds us that in the depths of His heart, God desires to give and forgive.

ASSOCIATION OF VINEYARD CHURCHES STATEMENT OF FAITH Our declaration of faith is based on the belief that the Kingdom of God is the central theological motive that determines everything we believe in. It is a theology focused on the Kingdom of God. This statement is our best current understanding of the Bible in terms of the Kingdom. Our prayer is that God will bless our sincere attempt to be humble messengers of His reign and reign, and to be people who practice God's presence and proclaim His gospel so that His will may be done on earth as it is in heaven. For the great glory of God and the well-being of the people! Vineyard USA God The King And The Holy Trinity We believe that God is the Eternal King. He is an infinite, unchangeable Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power, and love. From all eternity He exists as the One Living and True God in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory. Bible God The King: The Creator And Ruler Of All Things We believe that God’s kingdom is everlasting. From His throne, through His Son, His eternal Word, God created, upholds and governs all that exists: the heavenly places, the angelic hosts, the universe, the earth, every living thing, and human beings. God created all things very good. Bible Counterfeit Kingdom: Satan And Demonic Hosts We believe that Satan, originally a great, good angel, rebelled against God, taking a host of angels with him. He was cast out of God’s presence and, as a usurper of God’s rule, established a counter-kingdom of darkness and evil on the earth. The Kingdom In Creation, Bible The Fall, And The Doctrine Of Original Sin We believe that God created mankind in His image, male and female, for relationship with Himself and to govern the earth. Under the temptation of Satan, our original parents fell from grace, bringing sin, sickness, and God’s judgment of death to the earth. Through the fall, Satan and his demonic hosts gained access to God’s good creation. Creation now experiences the consequences and effects of Adam’s original sin. Human beings are born in sin, subject to God’s judgment of death, and captive to Satan’s kingdom of darkness. Bible Christ The Mediator And Eternal King We believe that in the fullness of time, God honored His covenants with Israel and His prophetic promises of salvation by sending His Son, Jesus, into the world. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, as fully God and fully human in one person, He is humanity as God intended us to be. Jesus was anointed as God’s Messiah and empowered by the Holy Spirit, inaugurating God’s kingdom reign on earth, overpowering the reign of Satan by resisting temptation, preaching the good news of salvation, healing the sick, casting out demons, and raising the dead. Gathering His disciples, He reconstituted God’s people as His Church to be the instrument of His kingdom. After dying for the sins of the world, Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day, fulfilling the covenant of blessing given to Abraham. In His sinless, perfect life Jesus met the demands of the law and in His atoning death on the cross He took God’s judgment for sin, which we deserve as law-breakers. By His death on the cross He also disarmed the demonic powers. The covenant with David was fulfilled in Jesus’ birth from David’s house, His Messianic ministry, His glorious resurrection from the dead, His ascent into heaven, and His present rule at the right hand of the Father. As God’s Son and David’s heir, He is the eternal Messiah-King, advancing God’s reign throughout every generation and throughout the whole earth today. Bible God’s Providence, Kingdom Law, And Covenants We believe that God did not abandon His rule over the earth, which He continues to uphold by His providence. In order to bring redemption, God established covenants which revealed His grace to sinful people. In the covenant with Abraham, God bound Himself to His people Israel, promising to deliver them from bondage to sin and Satan and to bless all the nations through them. We believe that as King, God later redeemed His people by His mighty acts from bondage in Egypt and established His covenant through Moses, revealing His perfect will and our obligation to fulfill it. The law’s purpose is to order our fallen race and to make us conscious of our moral responsibility. By the work of God’s Spirit, it convicts us of our sin and God’s righteous judgment against us and brings us to Christ alone for salvation. We believe that when Israel rejected God’s rule over her as King, God established the monarchy in Israel and made an unconditional covenant with David, promising that his heir would restore God’s kingdom and reign over His people as Messiah forever. Bible The Ministry Of The Holy Spirit We believe that the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Church at Pentecost in power, baptizing believers into the Body of Christ and releasing the gifs of the Spirit to them. The Spirit brings the permanent indwelling presence of God to us for spiritual worship, personal sanctification, building up the Church, gifting us for ministry, and driving back the kingdom of Satan by the evangelization of the world through proclaiming the word of Jesus and doing the works of Jesus. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is our abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide. We believe in the filling or the empowering of the Holy Spirit, often a conscious experience, for ministry today. We believe in the present ministry of the Spirit and in the exercise of all of the biblical gifs of the Spirit. We practice the laying on of hands for the empowering of the Spirit, for healing, and for recognition and empowering of those whom God has ordained to lead and serve the Church. Bible The Sufficiency Of Scripture We believe that the Holy Spirit inspired the human authors of Holy Scripture so that the Bible is without error in the original manuscripts. We receive the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as our final, absolute authority, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. Bible The Power Of The Gospel Over The Kingdom Of Darkness We believe that the whole world is under the domination of Satan and that all people are sinners by nature and choice. All people therefore are under God’s just judgment. Through the preaching of the Good News of Jesus and the kingdom of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit, God regenerates, justifies, adopts, and sanctifies, through Jesus by the Spirit, all who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. By this they are released from Satan’s domain and enter into God’s kingdom reign. Bible The Church: Instrument Of The Kingdom We believe in the one, holy, universal Church. All who repent of their sins and confess Jesus as Lord and Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and form the living Body of Christ, of which He is the head and of which we are all members. Bible Baptism And The Lord’s Supper We believe that Jesus Christ committed two ordinances to the Church: water baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Both are available to all believers. Bible The Kingdom Of God And The Final Judgment We believe that God’s kingdom has come in the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, that it continues to come in the ministry of the Spirit through the Church, and that it will be consummated in the glorious, visible, and triumphant appearing of Christ – His return to the earth as King. After Christ returns to reign, He will bring about the final defeat of Satan and all of his minions and works, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment and the eternal blessing of the righteous, and eternal conscious punishment of the wicked. Finally, God will be all in all and His kingdom, His rule and reign, will be fulfilled in the new heavens and the new earth, recreated by His mighty power, in which righteousness dwells and in which He will forever be worshipped.
