In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay talks with Van and Laurie Cochrane about their family backgrounds and how the Lord orchestrated their relationship. Van shares his process of unlearning the cessationist teachings of his seminary, their emotional and spiritual adjustment to beginning to feel and witness the moves of the Holy Spirit, and their journey into the Vineyard.
Van and Laurie Cochrane are the founding and senior pastors of Vineyard Northwest in Ohio and serve Vineyard USA as Regional Leaders for the Great Lakes Region.
After pastoring cessationist churches for 15 years, God opened Van’s heart to the full ministry of the Holy Spirit in 1994. He and Laurie eventually launched Vineyard Northwest in 2001. In 2011-2012, they began to lead the church into a renewed passion for the Holy Spirit, focusing on presence-driven worship, healing, and prophetic ministry. In the past ten years, the Lord has brought dynamic young leaders, dynamic older leaders, in-house prophets, and more Holy Spirit power and ministry than they had seen before. School of Kingdom Ministry has had a big impact on Vineyard Northwest. Van’s heart is to see young leaders raised up and empowered and older leaders renewed and empowered. He deeply appreciates healthy prophetic ministry and has a special call to restore wounded prophets. They have been married for 48 years and have four married children and ten grandchildren.
