The Leadership Team role is to equip the church to share the good news of Jesus and to live as his followers in our every day lives. SBC is a registered charity, so we also serve as trustees. You can find out more about us on this page.

I am really excited about Church, being Gods brilliant idea, and how that works out with following Jesus and engaging in his mission for the world in the 21st Century. I was baptised and became a church member in 1974. It has been wonderful to see our fellowship grow and change in the past twelve months, I am very keen to help the church enter a new era leading up to when a new Pastor is called to SBC.
