Vineyard
Vineyard Churches were founded by John Wimber in the early 1980s, growing out of the charismatic renewal movement. They are known for 'naturally supernatural' ministry — the expectation that spiritual gifts like healing and prophecy are normal parts of everyday Christian life. Vineyard worship music has had a wide influence on contemporary Christian worship worldwide, and the movement balances evangelical theology with charismatic practice.
