Lead Pastor – The lead pastor at the Vineyard Church in Duluth, MN, is called to serve alongside our community as we live out our God-given mission together. Success in this role is first and foremost marked by an active commitment to an authentic and transformative personal relationship with Jesus. We believe that Jesus told the church exactly what the church is supposed to be doing. As it is written in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20). Modeling a life of worship and compassion, the lead pastor seeks to shepherd the church community through servant leadership and a heart to love God and love people, period.

Pastoral Intern Program - A key Vineyard value is to equip believers to do the ministry. In addition to this, we want to train those who are called into full time service to plant and to pastor churches with our philosophy of ministry.
Pastoral interns intern directly under one pastor so they can dive deeply into a specific ministry area. If you know the area you would like to intern for (worship, prayer ministry, college and young adult, church planting, etc.), but do not have a relationship with that pastor, we will help connect you to them in the discernment process.
Interns will:
- Be trained in ministry and theology
- Be expected to serve in and lead various ministries at the Vineyard
- Gain first hand knowledge of and experience in what it is like to be a part of a pastoral team
At the Duluth Vineyard, there is no “one size fits all” internship. Since each internship is uniquely created for the individual based on their gifting, interests in ministry, calling, and the availability of our mentoring staff, we want to get to know you better by having you fill out an application. Download it here. Fill it out and email it to John at [email protected] or turn it in to our office. Once we have received your application, John and our staff will help facilitate the discernment process of what Jesus’ is doing in each potential intern’s life.
