Since I'm ordained with the Vineyard, this is what I believe:

The Vineyard Genetic Code

Excerpt from the installation Service for a National Director (Bert Waggoner)
November 2000

The Word of God

We want to hear the Word of God taught in a practical, inspiring way, in conjunction with His current prophetic word. We aim to hear and obey God's word to us, and to be "doers of the Word" who are being transformed into the likeness of Christ.

Worshipping of God

We desire to worship God with our whole being, and want Jesus at the center as our Lord. We are hungry to know God's presence, hear His voice and follow hard after Him. We desire Spirit-enabled worship in a style that is intimate, dynamic, culture-current, and life-changing.

Caring for the poor

We believe that God's heart goes out to the weak, helpless, impoverished, oppressed, and needy, and that He has commissioned His church to care for them.

Equipping the saints

We believe that all Christians should be trained to "do the works of Christ." We are committed to the "show and tell" model of on-the-job training, in which trainees are introduced to doing ministry functions with trainers and then are taught during and after the training experience. We aim to provide training for all aspects of responsible Christian life and ministry.

Practicing Christian unity

We are convinced that all who belong to Christ are one in His Body, the Church. We aim to maintain unity by honoring all who call on Jesus' name and by seeking reconciliation with all parts of the Church.

Ministering in renewal to other churches

We desire to serve the Body of Christ around us through renewal, equipping and other helpful means.

Begetting other local churches

We believe that the best way to expand the Kingdom of God is through the planting of local churches. It is our desire to plant churches with a vision for planting other churches, with the same vision, in their Jerusalem, in their Judea and Samaria, and to the furthest recesses of this world.

I first heard about the Vineyard when I spent a year on the M/V Anastasis (above) in Europe and West Africa in the Evangelism Department from 1990 - 1991. See www.mercyships.org

MIRACLE IN ABIDJAN, COTE D’IVOIRE – JAN 26, 1992 www.mercyships.org By the time Dr. Gary Parker saw 4-year-old Bienvenu at the screen in Cote d’Ivoire, the firm rubbery tumor on the left side of his face had grown to the size of a small fist. When Bienvenu came to the ship, Dr. Parker prayed for him, well aware that the tumor might be incurable. A small biopsy was taken for identification by a local pathologist and the tiny cut given 2 stitches. When Bienvenu return for a checkup, Dr. Parker did not recognize him. The tumor was gone. His only indication that it was Bienvenu was the mother excitedly pointing to her son. In amazement, as he examined Bienvenu, Dr. Parker found only a slight swelling where the tumor had been. 2 more visits over the next 5 weeks showed no reappearance of the tumor. Dr. Parker concludes that Bienvenu’s recover is no less than miraculous.
