Well, we have come to the end of our time together, and we are so incredibly grateful for the time we got to spend together this week.

A massive thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, main stage, and breakout session contributors who made this conference possible. And, we are so grateful for each of you who prioritized joining us this week. As much as we love to offer you content and learning experiences, we all know that the heart and beauty of the Vineyard happens in the hallways, in coffee shops and out at restaurants, during ministry times, and in our Regional and Association gatherings. Thank you for loving on each other, having the conversations, praying together, and being Jesus to each other. We love you and we are proud of you!

Yesterday was another wonderful day, hosted by the Vineyard USA Asian American Pacific Islander Association. Honoring the elders who paved the way in the Vineyard for decades before us was a beautiful moment, and it felt like a little piece of heaven to worship together, each in our own language. Mary Anne de la Torre shared a moving reflection on how the investment of a few missionaries in her grandmother’s life impacted generations of her family.

During the evening session, we watched an interview between Jay and Rick Warren about intentionally witnessing to unreached people groups, and then we heard from some international missionaries who shared incredible stories, while those on the live stream watched an update on Ukraine with Joel Lowery. And finally, Bubba Justice challenged us to have a vision that includes reaching unchurched people groups around the world.

To finish out the conference, we watched Jesus Revolution together, and the kind folks at Catalyst Resource Group offered a 20% licensing discount through catalystmovies.com to show Jesus Revolution at your church! Enter promo code Vineyard20 at checkout. You can also preview their new movie “Ordinary Angels” here!

If there are any sessions you missed or would like to watch again, you can view all of the main sessions from the live stream here for a few more days  In the coming weeks, we will share out the final conference sessions videos and the audio from the breakouts. We  would LOVE your feedback on this conference as we look forward to the 2024 conference and beyond! Please take a moment to fill out this survey. Your feedback really helps us plan, and we are listening!

Whatever your travel home looks like this weekend, we pray you are safe and return feeling refreshed and filled with hope, ready to see the Lord make all things new in your part of the country.

All of our love,

The Vineyard USA Team

We hope you’ve gotten to the Discerning Vineyard Ordination breakout session. If you haven’t, please get there today!

As a next step from the breakout, we have put together a web page that provides:

• A wonderful conversation with Steve Nicholson called ‘Leading A Movement That Lasts’
• Insightful 1993 writing from John Wimber pointing to the moment we’re now in titled, “Steering A Course Between Chaos & Traditional Denominationalism”
• 43 page report containing results of our Ordination Survey with Vineyard pastors across the country
• 5 podcast episodes that frame the whole topic from a broad perspective
• Information about our Seminary Now partnership
• and more

Go to Discerning Vineyard Ordination resources on vineyardusa.org

We hope you’ll explore this page, listen to the conversation with Steve and share it with others who may find it interesting. We think it will be very helpful for framing ordination and why this moment is crucial in the life of our movement.

“Sing His Name” is a brand-new single from Vineyard Worship that encapsulates the power and significance of Jesus’ name.

The Vineyard team encourage the Church to remember that for every season of life, there’s a reason to sing the name of Jesus. Our hope is that “Sing His Name” would become a sung encouragement that connects the worshiping church to the transformative power of Jesus, inspiring their devotion and filling hearts with His presence. “Sing His Name” is the second single from upcoming album “This Joy – Live from Vineyard Worship,” releasing in September 2023.

“Sing His Name” is written by our own Tim Brown, Geno Olison, and Alexandria Faison.

Listen: Apple Music / Spotify / Amazon

Watch on YouTube

Our hope is that this song will encourage you in your journey, drawing you closer to God as you experience His powerful presence.

We had a great time last night hearing from Nicky Gumbel’s conversation with Jay about the Alpha Course, didn’t we?

The conversation was so great we have some b-roll clips we thought you’d like. Click below to watch them on YouTube.

“We never say, ‘you must bring your friends’, the question is ‘can I bring my friends?’” (3:44)

“John Wimber was so ahead of his time because what are people looking for now? Experience.”  (1:06)

“They’re all talking about the people they’re going to bring on the next course. That’s the snowball.” (2:14)

Good morning! Welcome to our first full day together at the 2023 National Conference “Making All Things New!”

What an incredible night we had together: wonderful worship, welcoming our newest National Team member Jason George (Chief Development Officer), and a great message from National Director Jay and Danielle Pathak about leading through different stages of life and seasons of change. The presence of God was thick with us and we can’t wait to spend this week with you worshipping, learning and just hanging out together.

Today’s theme is Evangelism!

Our morning session starts at 8:45am in Spillman Auditorium and we’ll be hosted by the Vineyard USA Hispanic Association. They’ll be leading us in worship, Irene Casale- Petrarca will be sharing with us, and Rubén Quintero will be hosting the main session. It’s going to be beautiful!

Energetic praise songs for kids with flavors of pop, hip-hop, EDM and country, The Sound is an echo of heaven’s words over this generation!

Three original songs plus fun remixes, featuring Vineyard Kids’ own Katy Carnohan and rapper Luke Anderson. This project is full of energetic praise songs for kids with flavors of pop, hip-hop, EDM, and country. “The Sound” is an echo of heaven’s words over this generation; it is filled with the sound of love, identity, and goodness being sung over them and calling them to holiness.

Vineyard Kids hope that these songs will empower children to rise up and let the sound of love be louder than the dark voices in our world.
