The Vineyard Leadership Institute encourages applications from those women and men who are called and committed to become Christ-like leaders. Some students will be young, having completed some university education or some training in a career; others will be shifting to ministry after leaving a previous career. Only those being prepared to lead in a ministry should apply. The primary focus of VLI is the preparation of those who want to:
- Plant a church.
- Work as a pastor or ministry director on a church staff.
- Pursue a secular occupation while ministering as a lay leader in a church, but with the proficiency of a professional pastor.
