A gifted, faithful Bible teacher.

Someone with a desire to see the lost saved, who will lead the church in outreach to the local area.

Someone who can give a strong lead as well as working well as part of a team.

A person who can relate easily to, and communicate well with, people from different walks of life and social backgrounds.

A visionary practical leader who can shape future growth which will, God-willing, involve a new purpose-built facility for the church family.
