Rick & Julie Oldland - About

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 and UK/Europe Leader 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 & 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 meant to be - fruitful in the service of Christ.

Through their Spread the Fire Ministries, Rick offers consultancy, coaching and apostolic support to church leaders, ministries and congregations at every stage of the journey. Whether you are navigating a season of transition, seeking fresh vision for your church, exploring network connection, or simply needing a trusted voice to think and pray things through with — Rick brings experience, integrity and genuine pastoral care to every conversation.

Julie brings her own depth of ministry experience, wisdom and warmth to their shared work, and where appropriate, they serve leaders and churches together.

If something here resonates with where you are, or where you sense God is calling you, we would love to hear from you.
