Description
Scottish Vineyard Gathering 2025
Authentic lives, authentic power
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us" Ephesians 3:20
The challenge is big. We can’t do this in our own strength.
We need to encounter the glory of God, to come face to face with his presence and his power. Because when we do he transforms us, and then everything around us begins to change.
We don’t need to pretend to be someone we’re not, and there's no need for hype. God is longing to meet with each of us, to come into the messy and the mundane, to bring new life, to whisper new dreams. In authenticity and truth.
We’d love you to join us at Scottish Vineyard Gathering, where we'll worship Jesus, engage with his words, and receive his empowering presence. Everyone is welcome!
____________
GATHERING TOGETHER
This is an opportunity to gather with our Vineyard tribe from around the nation. It will be a gathering place for dreamers and kingdom schemers, for those who know without question what they’re for, and those in search of a purpose. This is about making space for God to speak.
Who should come?
People currently carrying leadership responsibility within their work or church life.
Those sensing God’s call to any form of leadership in any area of life
Anyone else who would like to come
We welcome Christians from all church streams and denominations
SPEAKERS
John & Debby Wright
As the simply brilliant National Directors of our movement, they lead our tribe and serve our people so well. Trained under John Wimber, they helped to start the first Vineyard church in Europe and they have been serving together in pastoral ministry for more than 30 years. We’re absolutely delighted that they’re going to be with us.
Chuck & Taryn Freeland
Chuck and Taryn are the Lead Pastors of Catalyst Vineyard church, which is a multi-site church meeting in 8 locations across the North East of Scotland (including an online community). They are the Regional Leaders for the Vineyard in Scotland and, if truth be told, not what you would call sporty.
MORE SPEAKER INFORMATION COMING SOON!

CHILDREN
There will be no school-aged kids programmes because the conference takes place during school term-time. We’re hoping that many of us will be able to arrange for family or friends to look after our children at home, so we can focus on receiving from the Lord.
There is a large room with a media link available for parents of babies and toddlers up to 5 years old.

If you wish, you can also contribute towards a ticket for someone who might not be able to afford to come. Buying these tickets essentially acts like a donation into a pot, and we will allocate the tickets out as we see fit. Please don't panic when it asks for your details and also sends you a ticket afterwards, this is just the nature of having an online booking system - rest assured we are thankful for your generosity and we will make sure someone else gets a ticket. You do not need to do anything once the payment has been processed.
