Hi, I’m Anthony Delaney – a former police officer turned pastor, speaker, author, and podcast host based in Manchester, UK.
I lead Ivy Church, a growing and dynamic movement which has planted various innovative expressions impacting Manchester and beyond.
My passion is helping people discover the love of God and who they truly are in Christ, and empowering leaders to make disciples, mature leaders and multiply ministries, businesses and churches that meet the deepest needs.
I founded LAUNCH; pioneering LAUNCH Catalyst conference and LAUNCH Communitas leadership collective to equip and connect pastors, planters, and kingdom entrepreneurs. I also host the LAUNCH Podcast, where I speak with global voices about church innovation, Spirit-led leadership, and missional living.
I’ve written several books including The Man You Were Made to Be and The BEST Marriage (both published by Moody Publishers), and I regularly speak at conferences and events around the world on Christian leadership, discipleship, and church planting.
Whether you’re a pastor, pioneer, or just exploring faith, I hope you find something here that inspires and equips you to live fully for God’s purposes.
