Rick and Julie Oldland have given their lives to the local church. With more than 38 years of full-time ministry between them — shaped by theological training at Spurgeon's College London and forged in the realities of church planting, cross-cultural mission, and local pastoral leadership — they bring a rare combination of academic grounding, apostolic vision, and hard-won practical wisdom.Together they pastor The Well Church in Lytham St Annes, and Rick serves as a Global Leader and for the UK and Europe within Harvest Alliance Global, a worldwide family of churches. He is also a former UK Director of Iris Global, the mission movement founded by Drs Heidi and Rolland Baker. These relationships reflect a ministry shaped not only by local faithfulness but by genuine global connection.At the heart of everything Rick and Julie do is a simple, consistent calling: to seek out, encourage and strengthen those upon whom the call of God lies — and to help churches become what they were always
