Meet our Team

Our church is led by a Leadership Team of Trustees and Stewards, together with a Minister.  At the moment, the minister role is being carried out by a Minister-in-Training from Bristol Baptist College. The Leadership Team oversee the operation of the church and seek God’s direction for pastoring, teaching and serving those in the church and community. The membership plays a big part in discerning God’s guidance in moving forwards, and meets together every few months to discuss ideas and pray.
