Vineyard Worship

The Association of Vineyard Churches, also known as the Vineyard Movement, is a neocharismatic evangelical Christian denomination.The Vineyard Movement is rooted in the charismatic renewal and historic evangelicalism.

Members also sometimes describe themselves as the "radical middle" between evangelicals and Pentecostals, which is a reference to the book The Quest for the Radical Middle, a historical survey of the Vineyard by Bill Jackson. It has been associated with the "Signs and Wonders" movement,: 199  the Toronto blessing,: 222  the Kansas City Prophets: 160  and a particular style of Christian worship music.: 212 The Vineyard operates a publishing house, Vineyard International Publishing.
