Philippines Partnership

Partnerships are groups of churches who join their strengths to develop the Vineyard movement in a nation or within a people group. Participation in a partnership allows churches of all sizes to be a part of ministering internationally. Partnership also expresses the collegial relationship between churches in different nations/people groups.

Why the Philippines?

Engaging in world missions was always something that John and Judith planned on engaging in when they became the pastors at SVC. Though Judith comes from a Filipino heritage, we didn’t want to assume that we were called to minister in the Philippines. We attended Vineyard Missions leaders conference to discern which country God was calling us to, and it was there that we met Kevin Garnett, leader of the Vineyard Philippines partnership, and Charlyn Gambe, National Coordinator for the Philippine Vineyard churches. We were invited to attend their leadership conference in the Philippines in 2024, and it was there that it became very clear that God was calling us to join the Philippine partnership.

SVC’s Involvement

In the summer of 2024 we attended the Vineyard Philippines national conference, taking four of our college students with us. John and Judith went back in the spring of 2025 to lead their first national worship conference. The 2026 worship conference will be our third visit in 18 months. We also contribute to the Philippine Partnership as a church, and attend monthly partnership zoom meetings.

Because the partnership is based on relationship, we are committed to staying involved for many, many years. We are committed to the individual pastors and the people of the Vineyard Philippine churches, and want to see them flourish and continue building God’s kingdom in the Philippines and beyond.
