Our Team

If you’re involved in Reach, you’re on the team! We believe every person has a role to play in fulfilling the commission Jesus gave us to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20) and therefore a part to play in our vision “to invest in people to multiply Jesus-centred communities that transform our world”.

Below are a few team members who are carrying significant leadership responsibilities within Reach that we think you could do with knowing about.
