Leadership at Vineyard Columbus

Leadership Opportunities at Vineyard Columbus

And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.
PSALM 78:72

Have you felt God's invitation to lean into leadership? Do you feel like God is challenging you to share your talents, abilities, time, and effort for the good and the sake of others here at our church? We have two opportunities for you, one for those who are already leaders, and one for those of you who are not yet leading.

Two Opportunities:

If you are not currently leading and you are interested in leading at Vineyard Columbus we have an event for you. Discover Leadership is all about helping you prayerfully consider leveraging your God-given talents, abilities, time, and effort for the good and the sake of others. Check out the gatherings happening at each campus on September 17th.

If you are currently leading at Vineyard Columbus, we want to develop you. Our founding pastor Rich Nathan is doing a special group called Leadership | Kingdom, Theology & Mission for current leaders to help you grow deeper in your leadership. Learn more here.

Join us to explore what the Bible truly says about women leading in today’s world.

What does the Bible actually say about women in leadership — and what did it mean in its original context?

Join us for an evening with Pastor John Cook, retired pastor and attorney, as he walks us through a careful, Scripture-rooted theology of women in leadership. Moving from Genesis to Paul's letters, we'll explore what faithful interpretation looks like.

This seminar is designed for anyone who wants to think more carefully about gender, authority, and the church — whether you're settled in your convictions or still working through the questions.

Leadership | Kingdom, Theology & Mission

Leadership | Kingdom, Theology & Mission is part of our new Leadership Training Series at Vineyard Columbus.

This is an intensive class and includes three quarters (10 Monday nights each) of reading, reflection, and group discussion on topics that are Biblical, theological, and practical. It is designed to be robust! If, as a current leader you have space, you have a sense of calling to grow as a leader, and/or you feel called to pursue future ministry involvement… this might be for you!

What it entails: You’d be committing to purchasing and reading two books every quarter, attending Monday evenings and one half-day intensive per quarter, and engaging in discussion (and probably sometimes debate!) within a larger group. We’re committing to offer you excellent leadership equipping, robust theological and practical training, and an experience with a challenging and encouraging learning community.  

This opportunity begins this September and registration is free; you can register below after reading details / dates below and discerning your ability to engage in the whole program.

Q1 - Understanding the Kingdom and the Work of the Holy Spirit
• Starting Monday, September 11 for 10 weeks from 7–9PM at Westerville Campus
 
Q2 - How to Interpret the Bible and Basic Theology
• Starting Monday, January 8 for 10 weeks from 7–9PM at Westerville Campus

Q3 – Reaching Our Community and Our World
• Starting Monday, April 1 for 10 weeks from 7–9PM at Westerville Campus
