In this modern world, it is fascinating that how one faith or religion can bring so many types of followers who believe in practicing same faith in various ways. Traditional churches and Vineyard churches are very different in many ways, regarding their beliefs, practices and sense of community. Following are the main five ways in which traditional churches are different from Vineyard churches regarding their competitive priorities.

Planting Of Churches:

Traditional churches are more connected and when they expand and increase in number, they still follow similar traditional core values. While vineyard movement truly believes in church planting and on their official website they state that they believe that only way to expand the kingdom of God is through the planting the local churches.

Acts of Worship

In modern world, majority of the people rarely center their lives around the acts of worship but traditional churches believe in sermons, hymns and traditional prayers, vineyard churches have adopted the contemporary style of worship, where worship is centered around music and bands that are chosen by the worship leader. This gives vineyard edge over the traditional churches.

Gifts from the spirit

Many traditional churches believe that gifts of the Holy Spirit terminated after the Apostles and Vineyard churches believe the opposite. These beliefs about gifts include the speaking in tongue, casting demons out and healing, make them interesting for the modern world. But at the same time, many people who belief in traditional forms of worship consider these practices as dark. So for both organizations, this puts them in a win-win situation.

Highest leader and selection

Traditional churches require years of training in the churches and then they make their place in church as leader. In Vineyard church, any member of the church who has served it for years can be made a leader for years. Clergy uses relaxed style don’t wear traditional church clothing on Sunday sermons. Which makes it look casual in comparison to the traditional churches.

Experiencing spirituality and God

Sermons, prayers and hymns are used to make connection to God and priest is the one who conducts these sessions while in Vineyard any member can participate in church ministries and experience God.

So, both forms of churches have their edges over the other. I think that traditional churches are stronger in existence regarding number of followers and loyalty that members feel with the church. Traditional church members seem more concerned about the other members and feel passionate about their missions. They are rigid in their values which makes them stronger

The vineyard church is modern and it gives every member a fair chance, which makes it better. It has more relaxed and welcoming environment. Their planting strategy gives them an edge over the others. Modern Band concert style spirituality and concept of gifts make them interesting for the youth.
