Electives form a key part of our discipleship pathway and are designed to create space where we can learn with others, be inspired and equipped to put in to practice what it means to follow Jesus in our everyday lives.
These sessions involve a time of practical teaching, space for group discussion, and an opportunity to put into practice and outwork what you are learning together. Electives run twice a year, at the end of the spring and winter terms, and we invite everyone to attend alongside others in their city group.

One of the most important distinctives of the Vineyard movement is captured in a simple, four-word phrase: “Everyone gets to play.” Coined by our founder John Wimber, and based on his understanding of the New Testament call to equip all the saints for the work of ministry (Eph. 4:12), this phrase set the stage for the unique Vineyard approach to compassionately praying for and ministering to others.
John believed that every man, woman, and child who is willing to be used by God can learn to hear His voice. As we learn to hear God’s voice, we can be led by the Spirit as we minister to others through personal prayer – rather than relying on our own limited experience or insight. Wimber also taught that any person can cultivate one’s ability to hear God’s voice over time and through experience, thereby increasing our opportunities to partner with Christ in seeing lives changed, bodies healed, emotions restored to health, and people experiencing the radical, personal love that God uniquely has for them.
