Iceland

Our church is dedicated to a new vision of planting three Vineyard churches in the next 7 years in Iceland. Our heart is to partner with the Icelandic people and raise up the leaders within the nation in order to create a new opportunity to reach people for Jesus. Our mission is to empower the people of Iceland and to come along side them to plant new churches.

We are praying for the right connections with Jesus followers in Iceland who are ready to do some fresh work in the Kingdom of God by creating a safe place for seekers to ask questions, find Jesus and experience the Holy Spirit.

We believe the beauty of Iceland is a perfect tapestry to acknowledge the Creator and reintroduce the people to the One who made this breathtaking place on earth.

If you are from Iceland and curious about what this might look like to partner with us inside your country, we invite you to join us. We will be hosting a FREE one day seminar from 10am-5pm on Saturday, June 8th, at the Hotel Kriunes (Kríunes, 203 Kópavogur, Iceland).  Lunch will be provided.

Some of the topics and discussion that will take place:

• The Difference Between Growing & Dying Churches

• Exploring how a Church can Thrive in Icelandic Culture

• Developing a Church Planting Team

• Vineyard Core Values

• Church Health Basics

• How to Build a Culture of Leadership Using IRTDMN (Identify, Recruit, Train, Deploy, Monitor & Nurture)

• Trinitarian Compass and how it can Protect Church Health

• Understanding Kingdom Theology and Practice

Once we have established relationships, created a church planting team and have begun plans to launch, we will plan on visiting additional times in order to see it come to fruition and to see the church plant launch well. There are a lot of steps in between, but we are so filled with excitement and faith that God will connect us with the right team.

We are also excited to offer a paid trip to California for one person who attends our seminars. We want to invite you to our homeland and introduce you to the Vineyard Church family. The purpose of this gift is to begin a deeper friendship and partnership between us. The Foothill Vineyard is located in San Dimas, CA – on the outskirts of Los Angeles. While we will provide a ticket to get here and a place to stay in someone’s home, costs for any site seeing and adventures will be up to the traveler. We are so excited to invite you to our home in order to help you see a thriving Vineyard Church family and what it can look like for the people of Iceland.

Additionally, we are looking for as many Vineyard churches as possible to catch the vision to partner with us on this new adventure. If you are apart of a Vineyard Church and would like to be apart of the team and go on the trip with us, please email me at jon@foothillvineyard.org. We can get you the details and connect you with our travel plans. The trip will be June 2 to 10. We are planning to go twice a year once we have a foundation established.
