Leadership structure
| |
At our recent
extraordinary church meeting it was obvious that not everyone was aware of
the leadership structure of our church so we felt a short explanation
might help.
We have a Leadership
team who are responsible for the ongoing vision and day-to-day running
of the church both in regard of spiritual and practical input. This team
is made up of our pastoral elder, Clive Jones, who was appointed in 2000,
and six elected deacons who each serve a 3 year term of office but can
re-stand if they so desire provided they are re-elected with a 75% vote of
the members voting. These six deacons are Beryl Mitchell (Treasurer), Bob
Howse (Fabric Deacon), Nigel Minett, Ryan Ahern, Darren Hart and Corinne Laming.

Our housegroup ministry
has the oversight of Housegroup leaders who share some pastoral
responsibility of the group members as well as the week by week leading of
the Bible Studies conducted.
Monday morning ladies “Know your Bible” group-Marie Martin. Tuesday
morning ladies homegroup- led by Maggie Martin and Carole Leckie
Tuesday evening homegroup- shared leadership between members of the
group.
There are two Wednesday evening groups one is under the leadership
of and Bob and Mary Howse, the other has shared leadership between the group
members. |
| In the last few years we have
demolished our old building and begun to meet in the local school hall. We
have planning permission for a new building and have set up a group of
professionals to look into cost effective ways of achieving the new
premises. This 'Building Under Review Group' (affectionately known as
BURP) is made up of Bob
Howse, Terence Hawgood, Richard Hawkes, Adrian Perry, Steve Martin and Roy
Laming. |
Because the church is a
legal entity set up under a trust deed, we also need a group of Trustees.
The legal Title to the land and buildings of SFC is, for convenience,
held by The United Kingdom Evangelisation Trust (U.K.E.T.) who are
appointed as Custodian Trustee. They hold the land and buildings upon
trust and permit the same to be used as a place of worship. They will, at
the request of the “Managing Trustees”, sell
or lease the property etc. These Managing Trustees are as follows:-
Bob Howse, Ryan Ahern, Peter
Jeffery, Beryl Mitchell and
Terence Hawgood (chairman) |
