Leadership
Global Leadership Team
The Leadership Team is a small group of men, all of whom are members of Sovereign Grace churches. These men do not occupy a special church office but are recognized as having broad leadership gifting in particular areas. They serve a critical role in ensuring that we are led effectively in our shared mission. They are appointed by the Executive Director and our Executive Committee.
Riley Spring, SGC National Director of Australia
Riley fell in love with Sovereign Grace Churches from afar when he was a teen and eventually found his way to SGC Sydney where he was mentored and trained to plant Sovereign Grace Church Parramatta. He’s married to Maddie with three children and passionate about seeing people love Jesus and live for Him with all their life. Part of his time is spent helping expand and grow SGC here in Australasia
