At The Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2026, John & Eleanor Mumford shared the story of the Vineyard; how it started, how it's going, and what's up ahead. They invited us all into the bigger story that we're a part of and urged us to play our part.

In a world that feels increasingly shaken, John & Debby (VCUKI National Directors) call us to lift our eyes and fix them on God’s unshakable Kingdom.They explore this unique moment in history where spiritual hunger is rising and people are searching for truth like never before, and challenge pastors and leaders to step through the doors God is opening: to pray boldly, trust his Word, invite others, and plant new Kingdom communities. Now is the time to sow seeds, build community, and boldly participate in what God is doing. Will we respond?

Speaking from Matthew 18:1-4, Dana Masters explores Jesus’ call to “become like children again” - not through innocence, but through complete dependence on God. She challenges self-sufficiency and shows how Kingdom lowliness produces bold faith, deep hope, and the freedom to trust God with what seems impossible.

Elba Dolan challenges us to reject comfort and embrace courageous obedience in the mission of God. She explores how true discipleship is formed through bold faith, being filled by the Spirit, radical love, and a willingness to take risks for the sake of the Gospel. She reminds us that this generation does not need a timid church, but a courageous one: confident in the Gospel, courageous in the world, and commissioned for God’s mission. This talk has been lightly edited to be helpful as a standalone talk outside of the context of the conference.

Elba Dolan opened the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2026 by sharing how we can be a confident church in an uncertain world, by being built on the word of God, dependent on the Spirit, embracing of small beginnings and fully trusting in God for the outcome.

Darren remind us that the only cause worth living for is Jesus - and seeing him worshipped and known in places where He isn’t yet! In this message, Darren unpacks that vision and challenges us to rethink what we’re living for. While God calls us, there is always a pull toward comfort that can quietly hold us back from obedience and mission. He names comfort as the “killer” of calling - not because rest is wrong, but because settling can stop us from stepping into what God has for us. Darren calls us to choose purpose over ease and to live fully for the mission of God.

In this message, Laura Bell explains how fear, insecurity, and past pain can hold us back from stepping into what God has for us. Using the story of Gideon, Laura highlights three ideas: faith beyond intimidation, choosing to trust God despite fear, faith beyond inferiority, where God uses our weakness when we surrender it to Him, and faith beyond injury, where pain doesn’t define us but can shape us for purpose. God calls us as we are and works through our struggles to lead us into what He has planned.

On Saturday morning, Sian-Lee Ewan, Senior Pastor at Foyle Vineyard, spoke on the call to lead with creativity and courage; the call to see a future shaped by God’s vision and to lead others towards it; the call to breathe life into barren places; and the call to step from what has been into the new thing God is doing.

Julia Pickerill opens the Legacy conference speaking on a call to return to being childlike in our faith. Drawing from the beginning of Samuel’s life in 1 Samuel, Julia calls us to lay aside control, pick up dependency and embrace childlike curiosity.
