Our vision is to spark a movement for Jesus in Chorlton.

Leadership

Greg Willson

Greg is Redeemer's church planter, and part of the elder team. It is his passion to help cultivate an environment where God’s glory shines, bringing wholeness to individuals, neighbourhoods, and the city. This has led him to serve in various positions in local churches since 2005. Be it in the arts, the workplace, or the living room, God is in the process of creating a people for Himself to reveal His glory to and reflect His glory out in their everyday lives. Greg seeks to join God in His mission.

Greg was sent from Grace Church Manchester and Riverside Community Church to plant Redeemer in Chorlton. He received a Masters of Divinity degree from Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando. He is part of the Acts 29 family of diverse, global church planting churches.

Greg is married to Christina and they have a son, Colin. You can read more about Greg at gregwillson.com.

Mike Lehan

Mike is part of Redeemer’s elder team and has been a part of the church since it was planted. Before that he was a member of Grace Church Manchester, Redeemer’s sending church. He believes God calls us to serve our communities, through hospitality, friendship and sharing the life giving words of Jesus from the Bible .

He is one of the leaders in the “Connect” Missional Community, and formerly headed up the church’s audio visual team. You’ll still sometimes find him plugging in speakers and running the sound desk during services, but you’ll also see him up front leading meetings, occasionally preaching and very occasionally getting his bass guitar out.

He lives in Chorlton with his wife Liz and their daughters. He’s director of a technology startup based between London & Manchester, and speaks at technical conferences in the UK and abroad.
