Church Planting

The mission of Vineyard USA is to join God's mission in the world by building a community of churches that are proclaiming and practicing the full message and reality of the kingdom of God. We want to extend the kingdom of God by establishing healthy, reproducing Vineyard churches that transform our local communities.

We believe that healthy churches grow and reproduce. We see this same pattern in the New Testament, where the people from one church go to a neighboring community and start another one (1 Thessalonians 1:8, Acts 14:21-27, Acts 1:8). We simply want to follow that pattern; helping people in every community become students or apprentices of Jesus Christ.

One of our Senior Pastor's, Michael Gatlin, is the Director of the Vineyard National Church Planting Ministry Team. This team has developed and is implementing a strategic plan to start 750 new Vineyard churches in the US between 2013-2023. We, the Duluth Vineyard, have committed to plant ten of those churches in that time. That's ten churches in ten years!
