    "The Main And The Plain" with John & Eleanor Mumford | Heart of the Vineyard

    Welcome to part 4 of our special Heart of the Vineyard series, where Caleb Maskell talks with John and Eleanor Mumford about the topic “The Main And The Plain.” John and Eleanor share why certain things like caring for the poor are “main and plain” in Vineyard churches, why we should be lowering the bar instead of raising it when it comes to engaging people in the things of the Kingdom, and the practical ways God engages us in His work.  “The Main And The Plain” is part 4 of an 8-part series called Heart of the Vineyard, which explores some of the foundational themes in the identity of the Vineyard. Each part contains a teaching video, an interview with a long-standing Vineyard pastor, and small group materials to help you take the information deeper and evaluate how you and your church relate to each theme. You can engage the series here!  John and Eleanor Mumford led the Vineyard Churches in the UK and Ireland for over 20 years. They worked for nearly two years with John Wimber on the staff of the Anaheim Vineyard in California, before starting the first Vineyard church in Europe in 1987 (South West London Vineyard). In 2008, they handed over the leadership of that church to concentrate more on the Vineyard movement, both nationally and internationally, then in 2015 they transitioned the leadership of Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland. In August 2026, they retired from coordinating the Vineyard Global initiative, which helps facilitate the growth of the Vineyard internationally. John and Eleanor have two sons, two wonderful daughters-in-law, and four grandchildren! Like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations on faith, leadership, and discipleship.

As a team, David and Anita are also effective church planters and seasoned pastors, having established Vineyard churches in Canada and the US.

    Heart of the Vineyard with Caleb Maskell

    In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay talks with Caleb Maskell about a newly minted 8-part series called Heart of the Vineyard: what it is, how it meets the requests of people inside and outside of the Vineyard for resourcing, and our goal of resourcing people where they’re at in their journey. They discuss some of the things the Vineyard specifically has been given to steward for the sake of the world that we must freely give away, being sensitive to the Lord in each moment as we live Naturally Supernatural lives so that our relationship with the Holy Spirit is not formulaic or driven by our desired results, and the ways Heart of the Vineyard can be used in your local church.  Caleb Maskell serves as the Associate National Director of Theology and Education for Vineyard USA, where he leads the movement's work in theological education, pastoral formation, and leadership development. He has been in the Vineyard since 1995, serving as a church planter, pastor, worship leader, and theological educator in such places as Chicago, New Haven, CT, New York City, the Philadelphia suburbs (Go Birds!), and Denver, CO. He holds an undergrad degree from the University of Chicago, an M.Div. from Yale Divinity School, and a Ph.D. in the history of American religion from Princeton University.  Caleb’s work is animated by the conviction that deep theological reflection and Spirit-empowered ministry belong together, and by a passion for developing the leaders and institutions that will make for a healthy, courageous, and hospitable future for the church in the twenty-first century. Caleb and his wife Kathy live in Denver with their two children, where Kathy pastors East Denver Vineyard Church.
