Steve Walker – Deacon
Steve has been a member of the Church from its early days. He was brought up to attend church from infancy but it was only in his mid-teens that the reality and enormity of the death of Jesus Christ came home to him, and he came to saving faith.
Steve is married to Sarah. He retired in 2017 from local government after 34 years and now works part-time at a solicitors’ firm. They have two grown-up children, Matthew and Ruth. In his spare time he enjoys playing guitar, listening to folk and acoustic blues music, and gardening.
Mike Jones – Deacon
Mike is one of the founder members of the Church which was constituted in 1982. He came from a non Christian family but was brought to Christ in 1964 through attending a Christian Endeavour meeting at a local Baptist Church.
He attended Salford University, qualified as an Environmental Health Officer and continued to work in the Local Government sector for 39 years. He moved on from Environmental Health to become a recognised expert in waste collection and disposal and in 2002 was appointed Chief Executive of South Lakeland District Council. He retired in 2007 and now spends his time serving the church, using his skills to support local charities and pursuing his passion for gardening.
Mike is married to Joan and has two adult children Simon who lives in Nottingham and Sarah who resides in Worsley Manchester. They have one grandson Samson.
