Vineyard Music

The Association of Vineyard Churches, also known as the Vineyard Movement, is an international neocharismatic evangelical Christian denomination.The Vineyard Movement is rooted in the charismatic renewal and historic evangelicalism. Instead of the mainstream charismatic label, however, the movement has preferred the term Empowered Evangelicals (a term coined by Rich Nathan and Ken Wilson in their book of the same name) to reflect their roots in traditional evangelicalism as opposed to classical Pentecostalism. 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. Membership requires that individuals serve in their church. 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.
