"Vineyard Worship Essentials is the perfect way to expand and deepen your calling as a worship leader. You’ll get the critical elements of our Vineyard story as well as the best practices for the daily grind of leading and pastoring in a local church."

–Adam Russell, Director of Vineyard Worship

At The Core

Vineyard Worship Essentials is designed not just to help you grow as a musician or worship leader but also to deepen your understanding of the Vineyard movement and the values that underpin it.

At the core of the Vineyard movement is a commitment to experiencing and sharing the love of Jesus in all that we do. As a worship leader in a Vineyard church, you have a unique opportunity to help your congregation connect with God in a powerful way. But to do that, it’s important to have a deep understanding of the values that define the Vineyard movement.

Through this course, you’ll gain the tools and knowledge you need to lead your congregation in a way that reflects the heart of the Vineyard movement.
