The New Wine Strategic Director will play a pivotal leadership role, working closely with New Wine’s National Leader, Rich Johnson, to advance New Wine’s mission of empowering local churches to drive national change. This full-time, hybrid role emphasises supporting three core priorities: equipping church leaders in Holy Spirit ministry, fostering church multiplication, and strengthening ministries for younger generations. The Strategic Director will collaborate with the Operations Director to shape New Wine’s leadership structure, manage the Heads of key initiatives, and contribute to high-profile events like the annual Leadership Conference and Summer Festival.
This position calls for a seasoned Christian leader with a proven track record in strategic oversight, effective team-building, and an understanding of apostolic leadership principles. With flexible working arrangements, professional development opportunities, and health benefits, New Wine offers a supportive environment for the Strategic Director to grow and lead effectively within the organisation’s expanding impact framework.
Background
New Wine’s vision is “local churches changing nations”. In order to fulfil this, we have established three strategic priorities:
-
Equipping Leaders: Through its Leadership Network, New Wine is committed to empowering leaders to minister confidently in the power of the Holy Spirit, equipping them with the skills and support needed to bring the Kingdom of God into their communities. By investing in leaders, New Wine seeks to inspire transformative, Spirit-led leadership across its network of churches.
-
Empowering Younger Generations: Recognising the urgent need to reach children, youth, and young adults, New Wine is dedicated to investing deeply in ministries that engage these age groups. By supporting and equipping leaders for effective ministry with younger generations, New Wine addresses the wider church’s concern over declining church engagement, building a foundation for a thriving future.
-
Multiplying Churches: New Wine envisions every church in its family, planting and nurturing a new congregation, driving growth and expanding the church’s impact. This commitment to multiplication aims to see the gospel reach new communities, fostering vibrant, missional church plants that engage people where they are.
Areas of Responsibility:
Leadership
The Strategic Director (SD) will serve as a key leader within New Wine, collaborating closely with the Operations Director and reporting to the National Leader.

As part of New Wine’s leadership restructuring, the SD will work to establish a sustainable framework that addresses existing challenges and supports long-term growth. A core focus will be building a cohesive, effective leadership team that operates with clarity, unity, and purpose. This includes fostering a healthy team culture informed by understanding past dynamics and creating an environment where leaders can thrive. The SD will also represent New Wine’s senior leadership at major events and in various contexts, embodying the organisation’s values and vision.
Delivery
The SD will be responsible for delivering New Wines Strategic Priorities, including Equipping Leaders, Empowering Younger Generations and Multiplying Churches. They will oversee the heads of each strategic area and ensure progress aligns with New Wine’s vision.
