Staff


Simon Lace - Minister	Philippa Marsh - Ministry Director
It's my great privilege to help build EBC up, spiritually and numerically, as a loving family devoted to God and each other.	My main drive is to creatively communicate God's story, so you'll often find me up a ladder changing the stage displays!


Kat Jarvis - Finance and Lettings Manager	Kim Perchard - General Assistant
My days are varied! I could be counting money, paying bills or serving tea and coffee. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?	I help children and young people learn about God in fun ways. I'm normally found setting up toys on the floor or getting crafty!


Eileen Charlton - Church Administrator
One of my gifting is "helps" so, I try, where possible to help events that are showing God's love, to go smoothly.

Elders and Leaders

Meet our trustees, a diverse and passionate group who lead our church. We asked what sort of biscuit they would be and why!

Biscuit cooking...	"Custard cream because I may be plain on the outside, but I'm filled with goodness in the middle!"


Edwin Chamanga	Jane Darby-Shearing
Leader	Leader
"I would be a chocolate digestive as I appeal to many with my chocolate sense of humour and biscuit resilience."	"I would be a malted milk because I'm wholesome and surprisingly sweet."


Tosin Fawole - Church Secretary	Pete Jones
Leader and Elder	Leader
"I would liken myself to a digestive biscuit, as I prefer to simplify things by reducing them to their most basic elements,"	"Lotus biscuit because it's a well known manufacturer of vehicles, and I love cars!"

"I would be a pink wafer because there are many layers to me... and I love pink!"	"A cracker! Isn't it obvious? Say no more!"

Planning your Visit

I am New

Welcome from all of us at Easthampstead Baptist Church!

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about us. As you explore our website, we hope that you catch a broader glimpse of what EBC is all about. It's about people - people just like you - who want to embark on a journey to discover more of God and his will for our lives.

What should I expect on a Sunday Morning?

Sometimes going to a church for the first time can be a little daunting. I promise we won't bite! To help ease any uncertainties below are the answers to some common questions people have before attending a Sunday morning.

What do I have to wear?

We are a 'come as you are' sort of people and have no formal dress-code for our Sunday services.
We can assure you that we don't have bouncers on the door vetting your attire!
If you are still not sure, feel free to check out our services on YouTube to have an idea.

What time do I need to be there?
At the moment we have one Sunday morning service which starts at 10.00am
.

On the 4th Sunday of the month we run our All-sorts service which starts at 10:00am.

Check out our other services below!

Services

We would recommend you turn up 10 minutes before the service starts so you have a chance to say hi!
If you have children that need signing in to the children and youth work, they need to be signed in from 10:50am.

Parking

There is plenty of parking both out the front and at the back of the building. Just follow the signs!

How safe is my child in your care?

We run separate children and youth work during our 10:00am service, which is run by a group of volunteers who have all been DBS checked.

Children ages 11 and under must be signed in and out by their parent/carer. The youth can sign themselves in and out.
