Ministers are those we recognise as having a special call to their role and have been extensively trained for it. They are commissioned by being ordained but may only serve our congregation because they have been called to do so by the church members.

 

Our minister; Rev. Paul Lowe has been with us for 5 years now, and has fully relied on God to lead the church into pursuing a stronger personal relationship with Him, and affecting the local community through that relationship. Paul is as personally involved in every area of church life and events as he can be, which illustrates the focus on family and community living found at Bedworth Baptist Church.

 

We believe in the "priesthood of believers." This means that every member of the church community has a role to play, whether in teaching, faith-sharing, evangelism, social action, pastoring, guiding, serving, prophetic insight, praying, healing, administration or hospitality.

The Deacons & Secretary are elected from amoung the church members, by majority vote, and together with the Minister, are responsible for the spiritual leadership, oversight and administration of the Church.

 

Each of the Deacons, and the Secretary have specific areas of the church that they are responsible for, such as the mission work the church is involved with.

There are also other "less official" but equally important leadership roles within the church, overseeing other parts of the church or even planning specific church events.
