Neil Hudson is the Senior Leader of Salford Elim Church and a Senior Associate of the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity. He is passionate about equipping churches to become communities of people whose whole lives are transformed by the love of Jesus, who in turn transform the world through faith acted out in everyday life. His books, Imagine Church (IVP 2012) and Scattered and Gathered (IVP 2019), set out that vision and offer some practical steps to make it happen. Neil is married to Maggie and has adult children and two grandchildren.

The world needs whole-life disciples of Jesus. As disciples, we are envisioned, shaped, and affirmed in the callings that God has for us in our gathered church lives. But too often the church can seem like an organisation that takes our time, energy, and focus, but doesn’t equip us well for these lives. How can we be leaders of churches that set people free for the mission that God calls them into?
