We learn about The United Methodist Church’s Leadership Gathering, which took place October 20-24, 2026 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

More than 280 bishops, church leaders, lay people, clergy, and special guests from around the world came together at Knox United Church to imagine the possibilities for the future of The United Methodist Church.
