The Academy began in September 2000 when a handful of students enrolled on the inaugural year. Since then Academy has grown to become one of the UK’s leading local church training establishments. Since 2000 nearly 300 students have studied at the Academy with 59 students graduating in June 2009.

The Leadership Academy is based on our church campus. Our two thousand-seat auditorium is now adjoined with a new extension that opened in 2008 specifically to host the Leadership Academy. The building has a state of the art lecture theatre, seminar rooms and a café where we serve Starbucks coffee. We also have space for students to use for personal study.
