WaterWays Vineyard is part of a wider family of churches across the UK and around the world. Each year, leaders from across the movement gather together, and some of our team attend.
We highly recommend catching up on some of the teaching from this event, especially the story of the Vineyard, if you've not caught up with our history.
The other talks capture this significant moment that we're in and help us to both understand it and join in with what God is doing amongst us.
A Confident Curch
As WaterWays Vineyard, we’re part of the wider Vineyard family of churches. In this opening talk from Vineyard Leaders’ Gathering 2026, Elba Dolan invites us to become a confident church in an uncertain world, grounded in God’s word, dependent on the Spirit, faithful in small beginnings, and trusting God for the outcome.
A Courageous Church
We want to follow Jesus with courage and obedience. In this talk from Vineyard Leaders’ Gathering 2026, Elba Dolan challenges us to reject comfort and embrace courageous obedience in God’s mission shaped by bold faith, being filled with the Spirit, radical love, and a willingness to take risks for the sake of the Gospel.
Become Like Children Again
In this VLG 2026 talk, Dana Masters unpacks Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 18 to “become like children again”, not by trying to be more innocent, but by choosing deeper dependence on God. It’s a gentle challenge to lay down self-sufficiency and step into bold faith, deeper hope, and fresh trust for what feels impossible.
Leading in a Time of Opportunity
John & Debby Wright (VCUKI National Directors) lift our eyes to God’s unshakable Kingdom in a world that feels increasingly shaken. As spiritual hunger rises, they invite us to step through the doors God is opening, praying boldly, trusting God’s word, inviting others, and planting new Kingdom communities.
Responding to Awakening Part 1 (VLG A)
James Rankine chats with Laura Hancock, Peter Lynas and Rich Wilson about the spiritual openness of this moment and how the Church can respond. It’s a helpful listen as we ask what it looks like to disciple people well, stay attentive to what God is doing, and bravely say “yes” to the opportunities in front of us.
Responding to Awakening Part 2 (VLG B)
In Part 2 of this VLG 2026 conversation, James Rankine interviews Laura Hancock, John Clarke and Rich Wilson about the spiritual openness of this moment and how the Church can respond. As you listen, reflect on what it could look like for us to stay rooted in Jesus, follow the Spirit’s lead, and make disciples with faith and hope in this season.
