Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland

22 years ago Carol Wimber wrote ‘The Way it Was’, telling the story of her life with John Wimber, their ministry and John’s death in 1997. This book has now been republished with a brand new foreword from Carol!

“John and I had a standing joke when we would hear of a book being written about him. I would threaten to write an exposé after he died and live off the proceeds in the Bahamas. But one morning on our way home from church he spoke seriously about it for the first time ever.‘When I die, you write the book, Carol, and tell them the way it was.'”

So begins Carol Wimber’s engaging and, at times, deeply moving account of the life of her husband, John, who died in November 1997. John Wimber is best-known as a great evangelist, a huge influence on the evangelical Church worldwide and a pioneer of the system of church planting. He was the founder of the Association of Vineyard Churches and in the ’80s a lecturer at Fuller Theological Seminary, where his course on miracles and church growth was the most

The Sacramental Charismatic

In the early 1960’s, a young married woman was having marriage problems with her husband and they were on the path toward divorce. Though she was raised Roman Catholic, the young woman didn’t have a relationship with God, was at her last straw, drinking alcohol too much, and, in her own words, a black cloak of despair dropped over her and she believed that no one loved her. In other words, she was full of grief and despair. Yet in her desperation, she had an idea pop into her head. She thought, “I’ve completely ruined our lives and have hurt the very people that I claimed to love. I must be in the hands of the devil, if there is a devil. And if there is a devil (and my actions certainly support that possibility), then there is probably a God too, and if he is really God, he can help me and I need help!” That young woman then sincerely prayed, “Jesus, help me!!”

And help her, Jesus did! Welcome to another episode of Wednesday’s with Wimber. The story you just heard is the story of Carol Wimber’s conversion and one could argue is one of the ma

History & Legacy

The Jesus People movement of the 1960s was a spiritual awakening within hippie culture in the United States, as thousands of young people found themselves on a desperate search to experience God. Not finding Him through drugs, sex, or rock’n’roll, the hippies were one of the subcultures powerfully impacted by ministries such as Calvary Chapel (Costa Mesa, CA) that arose during this move of God across America.

The First Vineyard

Kenn Gulliksen, a soft-spoken, unassuming leader with a passion to know and walk with God, started a church in West LA in 1974, sent out by Calvary Chapel.

This would be known as the first Vineyard church. Average people, as well as actors and musicians whose names would be familiar to us today (Bob Dylan, T-Bone Burnett, Keith Green), were connected with Gulliksen and the Vineyard.

The Birth Of A Movement

From Gulliksen’s church, the first Vineyards were planted in 1975. Believing that God had instructed him to do so, Kenn officially gave the name “Vineyard” (from Isaiah 27:2-3; John 15:5) to this association
