John and Eleanor play a significant leadership role within the Vineyard family of churches, both in the UK and overseas. They worked for two years with John Wimber at the Anaheim Vineyard in California before starting the SW London Vineyard in 1987. They handed over the leadership of that church in 2008 and served as National Directors in the UK and Ireland; a role they played until 2015, when they handed it over in order to focus on the continued development and momentum of the international Vineyard family.
