Overview

Mission

Providing education and ministry training materials for Vineyard churches through the production of curriculum and distribution to churches. Its purpose is fulfilled and organization has been dissolved.

What it reported doing in 2023

Ministry Training: Vineyard Institute provides ministry training online for students seeking to learn more about the Bible and/or are interested in a vocation or volunteer service in church leadership. Prospective students learn about our program and the courses we offer from our website and apply to begin their studies. An online learning management system provides an accessible online learning platform for students to engage independently.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
