Follow Jesus. Know your true identity. Grow in freedom. Go live with purpose. The Free Church Leadership College exists to form redemptive leaders who may go on to plant churches or make a difference through kingdom-shaped business leadership. Reckless leaders make selfish, unwise decisions. Responsible leaders do what is right. Redemptive leaders go beyond, following the way of Jesus: they sacrifice so others can win. Our three-year journey brings together Theology, Leadership, Practical Ministry and Spiritual Formation. Each year has eight modules—two in each pillar. Every module brings the four pillars together, with one primary focus. Students learn in community, practise what they are learning, and receive feedback along the way. - Year 1 — FOLLOW Build foundations in the Gospel and the story of Scripture. Explore identity, calling, character, spiritual practices and healthy relationships. Begin serving with humility, learning how teams work and connecting your gifts with work, mission and community life. Year 1 is for anyone who wants to grow as a follower of Jesus and develop as a leader. You do not need a leadership title or previous leadership experience to apply. Modules include: Essential Theology Prayer, Worship and Spiritual Practices Identity, Calling and Self-Leadership Serving Well: Hospitality and Ministry Foundations Scripture Narrative Character, Emotional and Relational Health Redemptive Leadership and Collaborative Teams Vocation, Mission, Evangelism and Disciple-Making Students begin learning to read Scripture in context, practise sustainable spiritual rhythms, serve safely and respectfully, listen to community, and lead under supervision. Year 2 — LEAD Take on growing responsibility with support and accountability. Explore biblical foundations, Christian ethics, leadership under pressure, stewardship of power and resources, coaching, mission, ministry gifts, pastoral presence, conflict and communication. Modules Include: Biblical Foundations for Leaders and Christian Ethics Jesus-Shaped Leadership and Stewarding Power The Inner Life of a Leader: Rhythms, Prayer and Resilience Developing Others and Redemptive Teams Mission, the Holy Spirit, Gifts and Ministry Roles Pastoral Presence, Facilitation and Care Boundaries Integrity, Conflict, Accountability and Repair Preaching, Service-Leading and Ministry Communication Students practise delegation, coaching, team communication and supervised ministry leadership. They are introduced to basic ministry-budget accountability through a bounded, supervised exercise. Year 3 — MULTIPLY Connect biblical mission and responsible Scripture interpretation with community listening, strategy and healthy ministry systems. Learn how to design a sustainable initiative, lead through complexity, develop others, and prepare a responsible handover. Modules include: Biblical Theology of Mission and the Church Discernment, Calling and a Sustainable Life of Service Healthy Teams, Systems, Governance and Stewardship Community Listening, Ministry Initiation and Enterprise Design Hermeneutics and Vocation in Public Life Faithfulness in Complexity: Character, Care and Resilience Mentoring, Apprenticeship and Succession Redemptive Capstone and Community Practice Students complete a supervised capstone shaped with a partner or mentor. It may focus on a church, ministry or church-planting context, marketplace/business initiative, mission, or community project. The work includes feedback, appropriate safeguards, evaluation, and a handover or next-step plan. Choose your learning pathway In-Person (±20hrs/week) The in-person pathway offers learning and formation in community, alongside supervised ministry practice and community-based application.

Who is FREE Church? Before you decide if this is your Church home, we want you to know who we are and what shapes us. Our Story Free Church launched in February 2022 with a dream of seeing renewal, restoration, and rebuilding happen as God's Kingdom advances throughout our city. We were planted from Urban Life Church and continue to maintain strong relationships with like-minded churches and ministry partners. We are a charismatic, non-denominational church that believes Jesus is still changing lives today. Our Mission We exist to inspire people to follow Jesus, know true identity, grow in freedom, and go live with purpose. Our Vision We want to see renewal, rebuilding, and restoration happen in us and through us by the power of the Gospel. Our Values Love God He comes first. Love People Everybody matters to God. Create Margin We embrace God's rhythms of grace. Inspire Hope Jesus brings light into the darkness. Choose Joy We practice gratitude and joyful generosity. Pursue Excellence We steward what God has entrusted to us to the best of our ability. Go Together Everyone has a part to play. What We Believe Jesus is at the center of everything. We believe in His life, death, burial, resurrection, and His invitation to join His Kingdom starting now and for eternity. Leadership, Governance & Accountability Healthy churches require healthy leadership. Free Church is led by pastors, staff, and leaders who serve within established governance and accountability structures. We believe leadership is a privilege, not a platform, and that transparency and integrity protect both people and mission. Generosity We don't give to build an organisation. We give because generosity is part of following Jesus and participating in His mission, and we believe that all we have comes from Him anyway. Through generosity we help people encounter Jesus, develop leaders, strengthen families, support missions, and serve our city. We sow into a story that is bigger than ourselves. Kingdom Partnerships We believe we can accomplish more together than alone. That's why we work alongside church planting networks, local churches, missionaries, community organizations, and Kingdom initiatives that share our desire to see people encounter Jesus and communities transformed. Our Team. Gareth Nicholson Co-Lead Pastor Jax Armstrong Next Gen Pastor Derek Struthers Missions Pastor & Community Partnerships Amy Nicholson Co-Lead Pastor, Leadership College Jonathan Nagan Sunday Experience & Dream Team Director Yolande Hawker HR & Finance/Admin Dave Molver Executive Pastor Robyn Becker Community Pastor & Events Coordinator Shakinah Pather Office Co-Ordinator Leadership College Students 2026 Lesego Phokela Chiara - Belle Pather Witness Chauke Brian Gwabe Juvanhé Klaasen Kyle Maphumulo
