"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you."
Isaiah 60:1-2
We’re living in highly complex times. It can be hard to know where to place our trust, and how to have hope.
Yet, despite experiencing the difficulty and challenge of living in this broken world, God's people are called to draw from the deep wells of heaven’s resources, and bring His hope and light into every sphere and every place throughout the nation and beyond. We carry something too precious to keep to ourselves.
So we invite you to come, to gather with hundreds of others from our Vineyard tribe around Scotland, as we worship Jesus, hear from his word, and minister to one another in the power of the Holy Spirit. We'd be delighted if you'd join us.
With love,
Chuck and Taryn Freeland
Lead Pastors, Catalyst Vineyard, and Regional Leaders (Scotland)
GATHERING THE LEADERS
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
Jordan, along with his wife Sonya, founded Bluewater Mission church (Honolulu, Hawaii) in 2009. It’s their third church plant together.
Jordan has ministered broadly through teaching, healing, prophecy, and church-planting for twenty years, and has led training conferences and seminars for every major Christian denomination and numerous para-church and missions organisations in America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Caribbean.
He holds degrees in political theory from Stanford University and the University of Chicago, and was a National Security Fellow at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
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.
Paul & Steph live in Manchester with their two daughters. They lead Manchester Vineyard and have a heart to see their city and its people restored. They also lead The Cause to Live For and are deeply passionate about seeing people step into radical discipleship that gives everything for the Kingdom of God.
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.

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 will be 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.
