THE VINEYARD BIBLE INSTITUTE The Vineyard Bible Institute is an Internet (email) based, distance education program which was launched early in 2000.  The
vision is to provide training, utilizing the best teaching materials available
in the Vineyard movement. The headquarters of the VBI is in Cape Town,
South Africa, and each potential student is required to register at a
cost of approximately 25 US dollars. There is an additional cost for those
who receive the course as a photocopied manual (see below). Within the
AVC (East Africa) students who have internet access may download courses
after registration, or, for those who are unable to receive large files
as attachments on the email, the courses are available as photocopied,
bound manuals. Courses which have been studied at the Karen Vineyard,
and are available as photocopied manuals, include the following:
On passing the discipleship level, students may continue to the academic level which involves payment of a further fee, and the writing of an essay-type question. Successful completion can result in the course being credited towards a university degree. Help is offered to students who are unable to send their assignments via email: they are able to send handwritten assignments to Karen Vineyard to be typed and sent to South Africa. Currently at the Karen Vineyard church, Nairobi, Kenya, there are ongoing VBI courses being studied at a rate of 2 - 3 a year. These courses are run as group studies with a weekly meeting. The Karen Vineyard church runs morning/afternoon/evening sessions, which include teaching and discussion, and have found these the most successful and enjoyable way of studying. (See column at the right for any courses being studied this way at the moment. Sponsorship Some possibilities exist in this regard, both for those needing and for those who would like to donate funds. Please contact Karen Vineyard Church (See details below). From time to time, conferences are organized in Nairobi with writers of different courses. All registered students will be notified and invited to attend.

Back to the Kingdom! In 2002 the first VBI course was run in Nairobi. The same course, the first part of a series on the Kingdom of God, is again being studied by two groups - exactly five years after that first course. Click here to find out more about this course, and why it is so important to the Vineyard movement.
Group study From time to time, VBI courses are made available at Karen Vineyard Church. We are currently offering the first part of the Kingdom of God studies, in two groups on Thursdays (morning and lunchtime). Contact the office for more information and to join a course.
