Compassion: The Arches Project

The Arches Project - Helen Murphy

The Arches Project started in 2001 when a row of derelict arches in Nottingham was converted into a place to store and distribute food, clothes and furniture to those in need. In this session you will have the opportunity to take a look around, hear the story of how the project has grown and developed as well as hearing from team members and clients.

Helen is Associate Pastor at Trent Vineyard where she oversees the Compassion Ministries and heads up The Arches Project. Please meet at the information desk by 1.45pm in order to walk down to the project.

Seminars (3:45pm - 4:45pm)


Implementing Gospel of Wholeness in the Local Church

F1 - Andy Smith and Wes Patterson

The Gospel of Wholeness is a process designed to help people establish a deep relationship with Jesus. We can strive all we want to try to manage our sin, but nothing is going to be healed in us unless we form a relationship with Jesus that impacts us deeply on the inside. Formed around eight key verses from the Bible, the Gospel of Wholeness gives people practical tools to walk through the struggles of life.

Andy is the Senior Pastor and Wes an Associate Pastor of Belfast City Vineyard.

Serving the King long Term: Handling the Disappointments and Stresses Of Ministry and Leadership

Auditorium - Jason Clark

Maybe we’ve signed up to dare to do something so impossible that it’s doomed to failure unless God is in it. We are determined to pour our lives out in service of the King and His Kingdom and so often find that the commitments we signed up for are impossible as God brings us to the end of ourselves. This seminar maps some of the experiences that seem to make those commitments impossible, and how we might find God in the midst of them.

Jason and his wife Bev lead Vineyard Church Sutton, and have three teenage kids.

A Rough Guide to the Trustees' Jobs

F5 - Peter Sturrock and Jeremy Cook

This seminar will equip trustees to address their key responsibilities to Senior Pastors and churches - notably in communication, employment, pension, financial planning, CRB and the implications of The Equality Act 2010.

Peter and Jeremy are two of the trustees of Vineyard Churches, serving the company as secretary and treasurer respectively and are Senior Pastors of Vineyard churches in Aberdeen and Hull.

Why Justice? 1

F7 - Andrew Wallis

Andrew is the founding director of unseen(uk), an anti-human trafficking charity providing safety, hope and choice for the survivors of trafficking for sexual exploitation. He will be talking about human trafficking – the world’s second largest illegal trade. Joining him will be Shatterbox Theatre Company who, fresh from the Edinburgh Festival, will be presenting excerpts from Fair Trade, which tells the remarkable stories of two very different female survivors of the British sex slave trade. The performance will be followed by a Q&A session with cast and staff from unseen(uk). This seminar will finish at 5.30pm.

Distinctives of the Vineyard: Come as you are...

Y7 - David & Alison Flowers, Jon Burns

This practical workshop will be looking at one of the key distinctives of the Vineyard highlighted by John Mumford at last year’s NLC: Come as you are. David & Alison Flowers lead the Wharfedale Vineyard and Jon Burns leads the Yarm Vineyard and between them have plenty of experience and will facilitate a highly valuable and challenging discussion on creating a “come as you are” environment.
