Welcome to the EBC web site – thanks for taking a look. I guess you have clicked on to find out a bit more – so here goes! I was born and brought up in the UK in Stratford upon Avon, attending Warwick Baptist Church. It is there I made a commitment to Christ. First, at five I wanted to be Jesus special friend, then later around 11 at a Youth with Mission event at my home church. Whilst at secondary school I was baptised and grew in my faith – it was tough going at times, often being the only Christian.
I trained as a chef, working on Park Lane, London, before working for almost 5 years as a bank clerk. I then travelled a bit before working as a youth worker, and coffee shop manager, back in Warwick. I headed down to London again, this time to train to be a Baptist Minister at Spurgeon’s College. Four year later and loads of essays, assignments and experiences later I was offered the post of associate minister in Abingdon Baptist church. At my Induction ‘I’ became ‘we’ as Roslyn and I announced our engagement.
Roslyn (born and bought up in Concord, Sydney) and I had three happy years at Abingdon, before moving down the road 45 Kms to Thatcham. Almost ten years later and three wonderful children later (when they sleep through the night!) we moved to Epping Baptist Church.
We are just discovering what a great place EBC is, what huge potential for Christ there is and what a welcoming, friendly place it can be. All of us would be pleased to welcome you to any of the services, or to events during the week. Taking a look round the site will only show you so much – please come and see for yourself.
