The Vineyard Church

Imagine

The opportunity to study kingdom theology, church history, mixed with the development of spiritual disciplines, and character formation. Imagine the opportunity to learn the dynamics of ministry mixed with the chance to serve in various branches of mission. Finally, imagine being able to do all this close to home!

Here in Mechanic Falls, we are launching for the first time, the Vineyard School of Discipleship. This September we will be starting our first trimester on Kingdom Theology and Church History.

How Does It Work?

Each year is broken up into a 12 week trimester. There are a total of 6 trimesters equaling 2 years of study. Each trimester has a compilation of material that will be covered. Each week throughout the trimester we will meet to discuss and un-package the course material.

What Will I Be Studying?

We will be covering Kingdom Theology, Church History, Dynamics of Ministry, Character Formation, and Spiritual Disciplines. The second year of study is designed for you to break out into an area of ministry that you feel you are being led to.

How Much Does It Cost?

It's FREE! Your only cost is the cost of books, and you Ministry Module during Year 2.

Who Is This Course Designed For?

There are many courses out there that offer great theology training, and church history classes. All these schools offer an amazing opportunity, but they are expensive and are very intensive. We have found that they aren't very accessible for the person who has a family and/or works a full time job.

So, we wanted to offer the same opportunity to those that are unable to do the full time school thing. We also wanted to make it as cost free as possible. However Be Warned, just because the course is designed for flexibility and little cost does not mean that this is a walk through the park training.

What Should I Expect

This school is designed to be an intensive, meaning a lot of information in a relatively short amount of time. Two years may seem like a long time, but when you consider the amount of material that needs to be covered you realize that this truly is an intensive. There will be a lot of reading, a lot of writing, but also a lot of relationship building, and a lot of retreat time. We want this learning experience to be a challenging, yet fun and fruitful time in your life.

Expect to have your mind challenged, your heart moved, and your soul restored. Expect to discover more of your place in (HIS)tory.
