Welcome to The Vineyard Church of East Central Illinois!

 

Interested in being exposed to Vineyard theology?

Ready to get trained as a leader, pastor, or church planter?

Vineyard Leadership Institute at a Distance (VLIAD) is a rigorous 2-year program with classroom education (including extensive reading and tests), weekend “intensives,” 3 special leadership modules, several leadership projects, and pastoral mentoring.

The cost for the 2-year program is approximately $4000 (includes books), payable in quarterly installments. The workload is estimated at about 10-15 hours per week, including weekly class attendance.

This outstanding training program is a requirement for those who intend to become pastors and/or church planters in the Vineyard. VLI is used as one component of the 2-year Vineyard Internship.

Intensives

VLIAD Intensives are scheduled on a regular basis throughout the year, covering many topics related to church planting and Vineyard theology.

The weekend Intensives are required for students doing the complete VLIAD program, but they are also a great chance for people not in the program to experience teaching and get a taste of what the program is like.

Watch the News & Events for upcoming Intensives and their topics. VLIAD Intensives meet 6-10pm on Friday and 8am-1pm Saturday on designated weekends. Cost: $30.
