"Equipping the saints" has always been a priority for the Vineyard. One of our primary goals is therefore to provide training that is accessible to all people.

Education Philosophy

This briefly explains the educational philosophy that surrounds the VBI online campus.

VBI has four different levels of training namely:
  • School of Ministry level
  • Diploma level
  • Advanced Diploma level
  • BCS Degree Level
Entrance Requirements

There are no entrance requirements external to VBI. Our levels of study function as the equivalent. If a student has succeeded in work at a lower level, they can proceed to work at a higher level. If they struggle to work at a higher level, they can go to a lower level.

Certificates as building blocks

The VBI program currently consists of five Certificates namely:
  • Certificate in Kingdom Theology
  • Certificate in Biblical Theology
  • Certificate in Practical Theology
  • Certificate in Historical and Contextual Theology
  • Certificate in Arts*
*Until such time as St. Stephen’s University have completed development of the Certificate in Arts, all VBI students will be required to complete 30 credits of Arts subjects through a recognized tertiary institution.
