Governance and accountability

Shared discernment

Amplify’s governance is intentionally collaborative, accountable, and non-hierarchical, reflecting its understanding of leadership as service to the wider mission.

The Amplify Council

The Council is the primary discernment and accountability body.

It consists of:

  • one representative from each founding church,
  • regional representatives,
  • and a limited number of nominated leaders with relevant experience or expertise.

The Council:

  • sets strategic direction in service of Amplify’s mission,
  • discerns priorities and advocacy positions,
  • and holds the organisation’s directors accountable.

The Amplify Board of Directors

The directors are legally responsible for the non-profit entity.

  • All directors are members of the Council
  • Directors are required to act in alignment with Council decisions
  • Major decisions require Council approval

This model ensures clarity without centralisation, and leadership without domination.
