Shaun Sweeney
I’ve been the pastor here since January 2012. I grew up in the New Forest, and was theologically trained at Moorland’s College near Christchurch. In over 30 years of Christian ministry I have been an itinerant evangelist and been in team ministry in three growing churches. I am married to Kathie with whom I have two children and five grandchildren. On my days off I struggle to play to my golf handicap of two, but enjoy the challenge of the game and the banter in the club house.
James Adams
I am a leader of Friday Night Take Away and a leader of Rockets (7 to 11 year olds). I also regularly help in Messy Church. I became a Christian as a child in SBC, from the time I was able to pray and receive help from God. I am a supporter of Southampton FC and I love to read books.
Brenda Greenwood
I joined the Mission Team in 2012, and the Ministry Team a year later. I have experience of mission working for Hope Now, and taking the Gospel to Ukraine frequently. My gifts are evangelism, accounting and leadership. I have been a Christian now for 46 years, and have seen each of my three children become Christians too. I have seven grandchildren of English, Polish and French descent!’

I was born in Southampton and have lived here all my life. I gave my life to Jesus as a teenager and was baptised, at Swaythling Baptist Church, in 1965.

I head up the Fellowship Team, whose role is to encourage and strengthen the church fellowship. I also take care of the pastoral needs of our fellowship. I’m married to Les and we have 3 grown up children and 7 grandchildren. I’m a season ticket holder at St. Mary’s football stadium and also do the scoring for the cricket team my husband and sons play for. I love gardening, reading and walking.

I have been married to Dave for 40 years and have 2 grown up children. I have been a member of Shirley Baptist Church for around 30 years. I am currently Church treasurer, a young Church teacher and a member of the catering Team. I enjoy all practical aspects of Church life. I believe God is with us, guiding, helping and instructing us as we continue His work at Shirley Baptist Church and in the local Community.
