Training our churches in Kingdom ministry and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Steve and Cindy Nicholson, trailblazers from the early days of the Vineyard Movement in the USA, are coming to spend time in the UK in the Spring of 2023. With over 40 years in church ministry, they have decades of wisdom, discernment and practical insight in recognising and stewarding the work of the Holy Spirit. They are passionate about passing this on to the next generation.

Through a series of weekend events across the UK, we are excited for Steve & Cindy to train our churches in Kingdom ministry and the power of the Holy Spirit. Our hope is that these gatherings will both re-equip our movement for Kingdom ministry and ignite a renewed passion in us for the work of the Holy Spirit.
