The Association of Vineyard Churches, also known as the Vineyard Movement, is an organization of over 1650 churches worldwide generally considered to be a Christian denomination. Church leaders and most laity, however, do not typically consider the Vineyard to be a denomination or refer to it as such. This is most likely due to the culture within most Vineyard churches that discourages the use of denominational labels that are seen as divisive.
Organization
The Vineyard has a highly decentralized organizational structure, reflecting the church's belief that local and regionally-based management, ministries and outreach are more effective than a highly centralized structure. The international headquarters of the Vineyard is currently located in Sugar Land, Texas, though few, if any, major decisions are solely made there.
