  • 101 Vineyard Introductions: Our story, values, beliefs, goals & belonging. If you are new to the church this will give you a broad understanding of who we are, what we do and where we are heading. The first session includes a film showing of the St Albans Vineyard story so come along, make friends and find out how we tick!  Ian Harvey & Kev Nash with Chris & Fliss 
  • 102 Spiritual Dynamics: What spiritual dynamics are involved in the life of a believer? How do we actually engage with the kingdom of God, his Holy Spirit and in healing prayer? Recommended for everyone to attend after 101. This course will change your worldview, inspire and empower you, and is a must for anyone hoping to be part of our prayer ministry teams. Linda & John Hall & team
  • 103 Dimensions in Prayer: This course looks at all dimensions of prayer as a follower of Jesus. Ever wondered about the idea of spiritual warfare, demonization and intercession? Quite often churches have different approaches to these subjects - come and find out our perspective and practice. Following on from Essential 102 it is important for everyone but also forms part of our training for all our ministry teams, healing place, prayer groups, or for those leading a Life Group of any kind in the church. Dennis Hylton & team
  • Deeper: John Part 1 Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be there during Jesus' ministry on earth? To actually see him in action? Would it have made it easier to believe? Come and join me in this first part of delving deeper into the gospel according to John and let us explore this question through the eyes of a few characters we encounter in this fascinating book. You may find that they are possibly not that different to you and me!  Pieter Van Heerden
  • Money: How to manage in Tough Times | Andy Holmes and team
  • Essential Kids: New to the vineyardkids team? Interested in helping out with one of the children's groups on a Sunday? This course is for you! Over the three weeks we will be looking at the vision of vineyardkids, safety and practical arrangements, we will look at discipline and finishing with child protection. We aim to fully equip you with the skills and knowledge to effectively work with our children at The Vineyard Church. Kev Nash and Carol Taylor
