The Network is an international group of churches known for planting new churches by recruiting college men, training and developing them into leaders within the group.
History
The Network was started by Steve Morgan in 1995 when he established Vineyard Community Church in Carbondale, Illinois. Morgan and 50 members of his Carbondale congregation moved to Seattle in 2004 to find Blue Sky Church.
In 2006, Steve Morgan removed Blue Sky Church from the Vineyard Association alongside several midwest Vineyard churches to officially birth the Network as an international group of churches focused on planting new churches, and the Carbondale Vineyard was renamed to Vine Church.

Controversy
Criticisms against the Network include their college recruitment practices, teachings on the role of women, dismissal of claims of abuse, and the authoritarian leadership style as reported by former members.
Also, the qualifications of Steve Morgan, the Network founder, as a pastor have been questioned because of his arrest in 1987 for an alleged sexual crime. The Former Vineyard officials who knew Steve Morgan during his ordination into the Vineyard association have issued statements denying knowledge of his arrest.
