Meet The Leaders
It has always been our conviction that we can do more together than we can apart, and that relationship plays an important role in our ever-expanding family of churches. A number of leaders bring direction to our churches in the UK as their teams serve and care for the churches who look to them. Together they are responsible for our work in the United Kingdom, but are also involved in other countries right around the world.
