I used to go to a Vineyard Church from 1992 to 2006.
A couple of years ago I was visiting there and talked to a lady who was pastor over the prayer ministry.
First red flag: Women are not to be in positions of authority over men in the church [I Tim. 2, I Cor. 14, etc., etc., etc.]
She had recently conducted a funeral when someone had called the Vineyard church and asked that they send a pastor to do a funeral.
Then they should've sent a preacher to do the job, not a woman. "I do not allow a woman to teach, or to excercise authority OVER a man....these things command and teach." 
Someone who was at the funeral did not like it that she was a Vineyard pastor
Good, sounds like someone knew their Bible.
and had (moderately) spiked hair and a nose ring.
Tooooo funny!
The person sent a letter to the senior pastor of the Vineyard asking him, "Is this the way you want your church represented?'
He answered back, "Yes" and went on to tell how he had paid for his daughter's nose piercing as a birthday present.
Which is the precise reason they should've went to a church that preached the Bible.
Oh, and that lady pastor was not the senior pastor's daughter. The senior pastor just mentioned his daughter's piercing to show that he had no problem with piercing.
So sad for him......
P.S. I remember seeing a tee shirt that said "Body piercing saved my life" and had a picture of Jesus on the cross with His hands, feet, and side pierced.
