What is the Hope for Europe Gathering?
Hope 2026 is a gathering of European evangelicals from across the spectrum of the evangelical church in Europe. The gathering exists to help leaders to connect and unite in this cultural moment in Europe, for us as leaders to then collaborate to see more people across the continent can find hope in Jesus!
Hope 2026 creates space to listen to what’s happening in Europe, learn together through shared input and lead collaboratively to help more people find hope in Jesus.
This gathering is an opportunity to connect, network and build relationships. There will be devotionals, worship, short, sharp interventions, workshops and more – all with the purpose to begin conversations. This is not a speaker driven conference but a gathering of like-minded leaders who see that ‘the answer is in the room’, so as we sit together, eat together and discuss together we seek first to understand before we want to be understood. We are all contributors!

OUR WHY
In a time like this Hope 2026 is even more needed as it is about sharing and spreading HOPE and holding on to HOPE as written in 1 Timothy 4, 10: “That is why we labour and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all people, and especially of those who believe.”
