We love telling stories in the Vineyard! As people who are seeking to live naturally supernatural lives, sharing stories encourages and reminds us that we are part of a much bigger family. When we hear stories of miracles and where God is at work, it increases our faith and reminds us of what’s possible, fuelling in us a hunger for more. Join us at this seminar as we explore how to tell a great story, how we develop a culture of storytelling in our local churches and answer any questions you might have.

Mark, Becky and Naomi make up the VCUKI Comms team and over the last year have been pushing into gathering and telling stories from the movement.

We need pioneers! They break new ground and lead us into places no one else has been.  In this seminar, we want to stir the pot, we want to be real with the challenges, but more importantly, create an environment to re-engage and reignite the God-given dreams on our hearts to do a new thing.

Do you long to see those around you thrive? In this workshop, we will introduce the concept of Mining For Gold and teach/model how the principles of coaching can help you as a leader to multiply your influence as you help others discover and walk in their unique call and vision. With the help of other leaders who are using coaching in their leadership we will share stories and answer questions on how you can do this in your local context and develop your leadership style as you go. Lots of interaction and some practice time.

Our towns and cities should be different when there is a Kingdom-bringing church there.  It not, why is it there?  Chris and Nic will spend some time unpacking their experience from the last nine years leading a church that is seeing the transformation of their town and surrounding area.  With many stories and lots of practical ideas, their hope is that this seminar will further inspire and equip you. 

In this seminar, Brian encourages people to come and get equipped to put Jesus on display in healing and power evangelism as a lifestyle. This seminar is for every believer who wants to learn how to demonstrate the love and power of God to people in your everyday life. Learn how to look, listen, and respond to God’s activity around you.

It can be a real challenge in the midst of leadership and ministry to make sure that we are receiving from Jesus personally, before we give anything away. This seminar is a chance to talk about how we who lead people and churches can have robust rhythms that we intentionally pursue to keep us in the presence of Jesus. Even in the midst of busy lives. Join us if you want to grow in your ability to both receive from Jesus for you, and how you might give that away and multiply those rhythms to those you lead.

Anxiety is difficult, unpleasant, and particularly hard to ignore. It perhaps isn’t surprising that it is one of the most problematic emotions human beings experience. But it is also essential to the healthy mind. So how do we manage fear and anxiety, particularly when they have become difficult or unpleasant? Why might our journey with God - and leadership in particular - require us to manage these emotions well in order to meet our potential? And what does the bible REALLY have to say about how we can fear less?

We want to help in discerning how and where God might be calling potential planters to invest their life, whether it be church planting, site / campus pastoring, or pursuing additional training, education or healing. A number of people will feel stirred towards church planting and this workshop will help them to discern if this is what God is calling them towards.

We long for the people we lead to display greater levels of generosity. It’s not only that we want something from them. It’s that we want something for them - a real freedom and profound joy that can’t be found any other way. But is anything we're doing actually making any difference? Or worse could it be that we sometimes accidentally discourage the very thing that we want to propagate? What does a generous church look like and how could we become one?

What would it take to love, serve and minister alongside the marginalised and vulnerable in our communities in ways that all our lives were enriched? How can we find the kind of compassion that draws others in rather than making people around us feel guilty? What if we could receive joy and freedom from our own brokenness as we partner with “the poor”? In this seminar, Alan explores some of these themes and looks at what it takes to build the kind of ministries and church communities that release the contagious, compassionate heart of Jesus.

Alan, and his wife Laurie, are Associate Pastors of Belfast City Vineyard and for the past 12 years they have helped establish and lead multiple compassion ministry environments. They are passionate about developing communities where everyone is treated with dignity, significance and hope.
