Ps. Slabbert and Naomi Pretorius

Ps. Slabbert and Naomi Pretorius are the senior pastors of Accelerate Church. Both were called to ministry from a young age—Slabbert from South Africa and Naomi from Fiji—and now serve together in Australia and throughout the South Pacific/Indonesian region. Their lives reflect a deep devotion to Jesus and a passion to see His Kingdom advanced in every sphere of society.

They carry a heart for discipleship, worship, and revival, with a clear mandate to reach nations through the mountain of education and the advancement of Biblical Worldview education. Their ministry is anchored in the Great Commission:

“Jesus came and told his disciples, ‘I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” — Matthew 28:18–20

Their vision is to raise up a generation of revivalists—Spirit-filled believers who walk boldly in their God-given purpose, usher in God’s Kingdom, and impact their world with His love and power.

In addition to leading the church together, Ps. Slabbert oversees the Men of Integrity ministry, calling men to live strong, godly lives of faith and character. Ps. Naomi leads Accelerate Women, empowering women to arise in their God-given identity and purpose, and also serves as Worship Pastor, leading Accelerate Worship—a culture of Spirit-filled, Christ-centred, God-honouring worship and intercession.

At Accelerate Church, their heart is to see people encounter God’s presence, grow strong in faith, and be equipped as leaders who bring transformation in families, communities, and nations for the glory of Jesus.
