For every believer who longs to experience and become the Church Jesus intended.
Whether you're new in your faith, have walked with Jesus for decades, or serve in ministry, you're invited to come seek the Lord together.
What If…
What if the Church Jesus described in the New Testament is still possible today?
What if believers could once again experience the spiritual family we see in the New Testament?
…where Christ is truly the Head.
…where every believer participates.
…where homes become places of worship.
…where disciples naturally make disciples.
…where the Holy Spirit is welcomed.
…where prayer is expected—where people are known, loved, cared for, and equipped to bear much fruit.
The Spirit-Filled Vine Seminar exists to help believers rediscover that life together.
By returning to Jesus' pattern for His Church.
Who Is This Seminar For?
This seminar is for believers who long to experience and become the Church we read about in the New Testament.
Whether you've followed Jesus for six months or sixty years… whether you attend a large church, a small church, a house church, or you're simply hungry for more… whether you're a parent, college student, retiree, business owner, pastor, or ministry leader—or someone quietly asking, "Is there more?"—you are welcome.
This is not primarily a seminar for pastors or ministry leaders. They can attend and are greatly encouraged. But this seminar was created for every believer who desires to live as part of the spiritual family Jesus is building.

Over four days you'll experience:
• Biblical teaching
• Spirit-led worship
• Prayer and ministry
• Communion
• Practical workshops

Everything is designed around one purpose: helping believers return to the simplicity, power, and beauty of the New Testament Church.

• Abide in Christ daily

What Is a Spirit-Filled Vine Fellowship?
A Spirit-Filled Vine Fellowship is a simple gathering of believers—usually five to twenty people—meeting in homes or other welcoming places.
Its purpose isn't to replace Jesus with another program. Its purpose is to help believers live together as the Body of Christ.
• Every fellowship is autonomous.
• Every believer is encouraged to participate.
• Jesus remains the Head.
• The Holy Spirit is welcomed.
• God's Word is central.
• Lives are shared.
• Disciples are made.
• Families are strengthened.
• Communities are reached.
What God Has Been Doing
🤝 Spiritual Family
"I've never experienced church like this before. It felt like family."
"For the first time I felt truly known."
"I discovered my place in God's family."
"You definitely feel the love. Everyone comes together like family."
❤️ Lives Changed
"I'm connecting the dots about God's Kingdom and what the Church is meant to be. I'm learning so much, and it's changing how I see my place in God's family."
"I've learned that this is about knowing God, sharing His Word, and becoming a spiritual family. God has opened a door for me, and now I want to open my home for a fellowship."
🔥 God's Presence
"During worship I experienced the Lord in a way I can't fully describe. I felt His presence so strongly that tears filled my eyes."
"I felt God's presence so real—as if someone was embracing me with His love."
A church leader who initially came with a critical spirit, when he visited a VFN Related Church, encountered the presence of God during worship. His heart was transformed as he openly confessed his sin and surrendered himself afresh to the Lord.
🙏 Answered Prayer
A family requested funeral arrangements for a loved one who was in a coma after doctors believed he would not survive the night. Before leaving the hospital, believers prayed and declared God's promises over him.
The very next morning, he was sitting up in bed laughing with his family and planning his next fishing trip.
✝️ Healing
One woman was diagnosed with what doctors believed was an inoperable tumor the size of a large lemon. After believers prayed, doctors could find no trace of the tumor, and she returned to work completely healed.
Another teenager recovered from a coma after believers gathered to pray following a devastating skateboard accident.
🕊️ The Holy Spirit Still Speaks
As promised in Acts 2:16–18, we've witnessed the Lord guide His people through dreams, visions, prophetic encouragement, and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
In one instance, a young man was protected after a God-given dream warned him about the company he was keeping. Acting on that warning spared him from a situation that led to the arrest of the friends he had been with.
🌱 Bearing Much Fruit
"I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I in him will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing." — John 15:5
As believers put these biblical principles into practice—gathering in homes and communities for worship, prayer, God's Word, communion, discipleship, and the leading of the Holy Spirit—we've witnessed the Lord bear fruit in a clear progression:
Believers becoming spiritual family.↓
Believers making disciples.
↓
Homes opening.
↓
New fellowships beginning.
↓
Communities transformed
What People Are Saying
Here's what attendees have shared after participating in previous Spirit-Filled Vine Seminars.
"I finally understood what the Church is supposed to be."
"The love was unlike anything I've experienced."
"This changed how I read the New Testament."
"I left wanting to open my home."
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this only for pastors?
No. Pastors may attend and leave refreshed. But this seminar was designed for every believer who desires to become part of the Church Jesus described in Scripture.

Others sense the Lord leading them to open their homes and begin a Spirit-filled Vine Fellowship. We simply want every believer to respond to whatever Jesus is asking of them.

No. Our desire is not to pull believers away from faithful churches but to help them become more fully the Church wherever God has placed them.
