Our Lead Pastors
Adrian & Leigh Wright
Adrian and Leigh Wright are the lead pastors of The Life Church – South Africa situated in the Northern Suburbs of Johannesburg, one of the biggest cities in Africa.
For Adrian, ministry began as early as his High School years when at the end of Grade 11 he started writing Bible courses and teaching them to the students at his school. This led to many young people at his school encountering God and the experience awakened in him a deep desire for ministry.
After school, Adrian studied Theology and started lecturing at a local Bible College while also serving as a Youth Pastor and ministering in High Schools and Universities across the city, seeing many more young people come to Christ.
After a decade in youth ministry and some time as an executive pastor, Adrian founded Anchor Church Joburg in 2015 with the heart to make a difference in South Africa. It’s during this time that he met his wife Leigh who joined the church and started serving as a leader in the women’s ministry and creative team.
Together, they lead the church for almost 9 years before joining Ps. John and Leslie Siebeling and The Life Church global family in 2024.
Adrian and Leigh love serving the local and global church, preaching the gospel, making disciples and equipping leaders. When they’re not building church, they spend most of their time raising their four children and enjoying the many adventures of Africa.
