The Vineyard Business Forum (VBF) meet every 2^nd Thursday from 4PM till 6PM at the offices of the Host or alternatively at the church offices.

Every session another person get an opportunity to host the session, giving that person about an hour to explain what or how he/she does business, or give us any updates since the last presentation. During this session the other people generally ask questions and give input on ideas. We consider this to be a board meeting of stake holders to the presenter, with Godly counsel given. The content of the presentation is upto the host according to their specific needs at the time.

VBF work on a rotational roster for people to host. This rotational structure is changed if there is an urgent need. The session is a “round table” feedback where everyone gets 5 minutes to give us an update since the last session.

The forum is not exclusively for business owners, but also for people who are considering a business idea. We do expect a commitment from people that join us to join us “for the long run” as we try to walk a journey with each other in relationship.
