Making disciples who establish Heaven on Earth

Since Open Heaven started in 1993 on Loughborough University campus, we have had a distinct call to make disciples and communities that are focused on following Jesus. We have seen over two thousand people experience a church culture which is active in discipling others through 1-to-1 discipleship and a commitment to personal transformation.

Our team

We believe leadership is a servant role, given to both women and men. We make space for others to contribute and play their part. Find out more about leadership and staff team below.

︎︎︎Meet our team

We belong to a network of churches called Pioneer which has around 50 churches in the UK and a growing number of churches internationally. Pioneer exists to take the gospel into new places and spaces. Pioneer's four core values are missional, relational, charismatic and Kingdom orientated. In September 2019, our very own Ness Wilson took on the role of Pioneer UK Leader. The Pioneer Network provides us with apostolic oversight and we have been overseen by Steve Clifford from the very start. Open Heaven is recognised as a resource church which means we strengthen and serve other churches and ministries, particularly in the Midlands. We do that by connecting, inspiring and equipping churches to make spirit filled disciples and see Kingdom transformation in creative and innovative ways across geography and generations.
