About Vineyard Institute Academy
“Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task.” – 1 Timothy 3:1
Vineyard Institute Academy Benelux was formed out of a passion to raise up and train emerging leaders in the Vineyard Movement in the Benelux who desire to take on the task of becoming an overseer with a noble and good heart.
Our Mission
Vineyard Institute Academy Benelux seeks to equip and develop Christian leaders at every level of every church, within the multinational, multicultural and multigenerational Vineyard community. VIA includes the best Vineyard theological resources available and an educational platform that is flexible to the needs and goals of learning communities in the local church.
The Theological Focus
We train, develop and equip church leaders in Bible teaching, leadership and practical ministry. While training leaders, our curriculum centers around the Kingdom of God as seen in Scripture and how this impacts our theology. The story of the Kingdom of God begins with Jesus, as we understand who Jesus was, how he lived and what he taught.
This framework provides the context from which we interpret and understand the entire bible. This Kingdom Theology shapes our view of world missions, church planting, evangelism, ministry to the poor and many other aspects of church leadership. Our understanding of the Kingdom of God also has implications for current social issues, as well as how we understand church history and systematic theology.
How it Works
If you are a member of one of the Benelux Vineyard churches you can obtain a FREE Individual Membership with a discount code your pastor can provide. With this membership you get free access to all courses. If you are not a member you can purchase paid courses. Most courses have Quizzes after each block which you need to pass to be able to continue the course. At the end of the course you will receive a certificate, which is relevant within the context of Vineyard churches and highly recommended.
There is an option available for courses without Quizzes and thus without certificate. If you start a course that option will be visible.
