WE ARE LED BY MALCOLM WHITE WHO IS AN EXPERIENCED, MATURE AND WELL KNOWN BIBLE TEACHER HAVING LIVED LOCALLY ALL HIS LIFE.(YOU CAN FIND MORE ABOUT MALCOLM'S MINISTRY BY LOOKING AT A NEW WEB SITE:WWW.FREEMOST.CO.UK/IMAPREACHER) HIS MINISTRY IS ONE OF A TEACHING NATURE.IN HIS LIFETIME MALCOLM HAS MINISTERED WITH SOME OF THE BEST KNOWN NAMES IN THE MINISTRY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC AND IN EUROPE, AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR CALLING HIM TO USE HIS GIFTS AND EXPERIENCE AS SENIOR PASTOR HERE IN THE CHURCH ON THE ROUNDABOUT. HIS DESIRE IS THAT WE GROW IN KNOWLEDGE AND MATURITY SO THAT WE AS THE LOCAL CONGREGATION CAN MINISTER EFFECTIVELY TO THE NEEDS OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE.

WE REGULARLY HOLD SPECIAL WEEKS AND WEEK ENDS OF MINISTRY WITH GIFTED SPEAKERS. AS A CHURCH WE GIVE SACRIFICIALLY TO MISSIONS, ESPECIALLY SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL. WE ARE IN FELLOWSHIP WITH THE BAPTIST UNION OF GREAT BRITAIN AND THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE. WE COVET YOUR PRAYER SUPPORT AS WE MINISTER IN AN EXTREMELY BARREN AREA. A RECENT WELSH CHURCH SURVEY (1995 )SHOWED THAT BETWEEN 1982 AND 1995 ALL DENOMINATIONS SAW AN 18% DECLINE IN NUMBERS BUT ATTENDANCE AT INDEPENDANT AND NON ALIGNED CHURCHES SAW AN INCREASE. ONLY 8.7 % OF PEOPLE IN WALES REGULARLY ATTEND CHURCH. THE LARGEST SINGLE AGE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY ATTEND CHURCH ARE THE OVER 65'S, FOLLOWED BY THE 45-64 AGE GROUP. 41 % OF WELSH CHURCHES HAVE A CONGREGATION OF 19 OR LESS. BRETHREN PRAY FOR US.
