FLOW °31: Lessons From Pastoring Belfast City Vineyard (Harmony Smith)

Kristian Reschke interviews Harmony Smith, co-lead pastor of
Belfast City Vineyard, about the long road of leadership. Smith,
raised in Vienna after her parents moved from Yugoslavia,
describes meeting the Vineyard and encountering the Holy Spirit
at university in Evanston, which redirected her into ministry and
eventually to Belfast, where she and her husband Andy have served
for 25 years. She shares how illness, severe pain, and therapy
brought deep healing, greater compassion, and trauma awareness,
and how leadership requires boundaries, slower rhythms, and being
pastored by community. She reflects on COVID disruptions, losing
members, buying a building in North Belfast, and a call to
peacemaking amid sectarian wounds and current racism, and prays
for DACH churches to be “good soil”, faithful with small seeds.


Vineyard Flow beleuchtet zentrale Werte und
aktuelle Schwerpunkte der Vineyard-Bewegung im deutschsprachigen
