Dear Friend,
The Tempe Vineyard Church is so excited for the opportunity to serve you and the Lord by introducing the start of our new School of Ministry. The school has been birthed out of the long held values of the Vineyard movement of giving back the ministry to the people ("everyone gets to play") and equipping them for their God-ordained destinies ("doin' the stuff")
Tempe Vineyard School of Ministry (TVSM) has a simple objective: to provide inexpensive and accessible training for those who hunger to be used by the Lord and want to "take the next step". TVSM will be taking the great theological training from Vineyard Bible Institute and marrying it with the remarkable power ministry curriculum of Bethel Church in Redding, CA, led by Bill Johnson has been used powerfully by the Lord to re-ignite tin the church the belief that God can show up in power anywhere, through anyone willing to risk...also long help values in the Vineyard.
In short, we hope to see TVSM bring together the Word and the Spirit to produce balanced Christians that are agents for the Kingdom breakthroughs wherever the Lord has placed them.
TVSM will also provide mentoring opportunities for those who wish to plant churches or have a call to the mission field. We plan to expand the number of types of mentoring groups to include pastoral ministry, worship and more as the need arises.
These are exciting times to be a Christian, we have seen God do amazing things in the past 3 years and in cooperation with Him has started the TVSM. I want to invite you to prayerfully consider "taking the next step" in your training as a Christ-follower. Our desire at TVSM is to serve you and help you get to that next level of commitment, Christ-like character and fruit-bearing...all to His glory!
Because of Him,
John Hernandez
Senior Leader
