Better Together is a Vineyard gathering for pastors and leaders who long to cultivate beloved communities shaped by the love and Kingdom of Jesus, where people are known, welcomed, healed, and formed.
This year we’re bringing together two essential dimensions of Vineyard life because the communities we build will only be as healthy as the leaders who shape them.
A Kingdom vision of reconciliation, belonging, and shared life
Because the communities we build will only be as healthy as the leaders who shape them.
The inner formation needed to lead without burnout, reactivity, or hidden wounds
Featuring Drew Hyun (Executive Director of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship and Lead Pastor of Hope Church NYC), our Vineyard USA Associations Director and Association Leaders, and Jay Pathak (Vineyard USA National Director), we’ll explore how emotional maturity and spiritual maturity grow together.
This year goes beyond teaching. Through curated local experiences and embodied learning spaces, you’ll step into tangible expressions of Beloved Community, encountering the beauty and diversity of Jesus’ Church firsthand.
These aren’t add-ons. They’re invitations to listen, to see, and to participate in what the Spirit is already doing.
In true Vineyard fashion, we won’t just talk about the Kingdom. We’ll practice joining it.
Our hope is you’ll leave equipped to:
Recognize emotional barriers that limit authentic community
Lead with greater self-awareness and relational health
Create spaces where vulnerability and belonging intersect
Cultivate Spirit-formed communities marked by reconciliation and love
Carry a lived vision of Beloved Community shaped not only by teaching, but by experience
