Lukas Dewhirst


Associate Leader

Lukas is 38 and has been a leader at the Foundry for 11 years. He is married to Sarah and has four daughters, which gives him time to think while he is waiting to go in the bathroom. As a London boy, Chelsea is his team, so if he had a day off his top trip would be to Stamford Bridge or perhaps the British Museum. Lukas has pioneered various ministries during his leadership at the Foundry. He loves people, preaching and gets his biggest kick when 'teams work'.
