The lineage

The line you’re joining.

Thousands of pastors trained at Futures over a century. A handful you might recognise. All of these are megachurch pastors in the US and Australia — and there are hundreds and hundreds more behind them: campus pastors, youth pastors, worship pastors, kids pastors, assistant pastors — plus the elders, board members, and business leaders building alongside them. The room has always been wider than the platform. Same core. Same teacher. The teaching and discipleship that lit the flame in them is the teaching and discipleship you’ll sit under — sharpened by 26 years of sending.

Adelaide to Nashville to New York to London. The line keeps moving.

Voices of transformation

What the year did in them.

Real stories. Real lives changed. Hear from students who discovered their calling, grew in faith, and stepped into what God prepared for them.

I never saw myself as a leader but God has given me opportunities to lead others through college and has caused me to see that He can use me in this area.
Caitlyn
Student
I have learned how to form and lead an effective kids ministry team and developed essential communication skills necessary for team management.
Hollie
Student
Serving in church this year has blessed me beyond my expectations. Seeing the way the little things we have done as a team has helped contribute to seeing more teenagers find the love of God for the first time has given me a greater sense of purpose.
Maddie
Student
One of the things I have learned this year has been about carrying weight in leadership.
Grant
Student
I have been a Christian for many years but I felt God opened the door to college so that I could get to know more the most important truths.
Nathan
Student
I did college this year because I wanted to grow closer to God. I have grown in my time management, organisational skills and my ability to study the Bible.

A century of raising and releasing leaders
“Over 100 years ago Smith Wigglesworth hosted Revival Meetings in Australia, and a group of people stirred by the Holy Spirit began to meet in homes across Adelaide. From then to now we have seen Jesus build his church — a vibrant, global church that has raised and released leaders making an impact all over the world.”
