Leadership that serves

Many Nations, One Family

At All Nations, leadership is about serving. Everyone on this page gives their time, gifts and prayers so that our church can love God, love one another and love Wythenshawe.

Like our congregation, our team comes from many nations and backgrounds. If you have a question, need prayer or would like to get involved, any of us would be glad to help.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.”Mark 10:45
