This document outlines four values of the Vineyard church: intimacy with God, focusing on both the Word and the Spirit, welcoming people as they are but encouraging growth, and enabling everyone to participate ("everyone gets to play"). It discusses the priesthood of all believers and quotes John Wimber emphasizing that the church should equip people for ministry rather than focusing on a single leader. It also lists some priorities like worship, mission, discipleship, serving the poor, and family.

8. …you are a chosen people. You are a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, God’s very own
possession. As a result, you can show
others the goodness of God, for he called
you out of the darkness into his wonderful
light.
1 Peter 2: 9

9. "Everyone gets to play, so play nice and
share the toys.."
"The Church is to be an army not an
audience. It’s never about a focus on the
one on the stage, its about the equipping &
releasing of the Church.."
John Wimber

10. "Everyone wants to be a part of something
where they can realize their full potential.."
"God has given us a vision to see the body
of Christ move from being an inactive
audience to a Spirit-filled army. This isn't
about a one man show, this is about the
equipping of the saints for the work of the
Kingdom.."
John Wimber

14. Jesus called them together and said, “You
know that the rulers in this world lord it
over their people, and officials flaunt their
authority over those under them. But
among you it will be different. Whoever
wants to be a leader among you must be
your servant, and whoever wants to be first
among you must become your slave.”
Matthew 20: 25-27

15. So Christ himself gave the apostles, the
prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and
teachers, to equip his people for works of
service, so that the body of Christ may be
built up
Ephesians 4: 11 & 12
