Vineyard Leadership Institute (VLI) is a two-year, seven quarter course. It was created to integrate hands-on training, ministry experience, spiritual formation, and academic understanding.

History
Vineyard Leadership Institute was established in 1995 by Rich Nathan the senior pastor of the Vineyard Church of Columbus in Columbus Ohio. In 1996 Steve Robbins, Ph.D. was brought in to take over as Director of Vineyard Leadership Institute.

The host site is in Columbus Ohio where Steve Robbins, Ph.D. and all faculty are filmed. VLI operates on "Distance Sites", small groups of people that go through the courses and material together and are overseen by a site coordinator. VLI has many sites located throughout the United States as well as in the United Kingdom, Brazil, Spain, and Chile.

The instructors are experienced pastors: recognized theologians who are committed to Vineyard-style ministry and who are experts in the fields that they teach.
