JULY 21-23, 2026 | NORTH JERSEY VINEYARD

A transformational gathering for leaders ready to cultivate deeper community and sustainable spiritual health

What if Beloved Community starts with you?

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:

  • Beloved Community — a Kingdom vision of reconciliation, belonging, and shared life

  • Emotionally Healthy Spirituality — the inner formation needed to lead without burnout, reactivity, or hidden wounds

Because the communities we build will only be as healthy as the leaders who shape them.

Featuring Drew Hyun (Emotionally Healthy Discipleship), our Vineyard Association Leaders, and special video content from Christine Caine, we’ll explore how emotional maturity and spiritual maturity grow together.

But this year goes beyond teaching.

Immersive Experiences

Through curated local excursions 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.

Invitations to listen.
To see.
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.

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
