The Church leaders

Neville and Jackie Hollands joined LifeSpring Church when it began in 1979.  A number of years later Neville was asked to join the leadership team, and in 1988 he became our first full time leader.  Besides leadership responsibility at LifeSpring, Neville is also involved with Reading Christian Network - a network of leaders and churches seeking to relate and work more closely together across Reading. 

 

Neville and Jackie were married in 1979, and have three children - James, Lisa and Emily.  Neville's interests include football, trying to learn golf, fell walking, and also a bit of DIY and gardening.  Jackie loves shopping and clothes!

 

Their vision for LifeSpring is to see it fulfill its calling of becoming a church that reaches out with the love of Jesus, and effectively disciples its members to do the same.  Neville and Jackie lead LifeSpring's two primary cells.
