Team

At Leominster Baptist Church, we believe that church isn’t about a few individuals leading from the front—it’s about a community of people working together, each playing a vital role. We are a family, and every person has something valuable to offer.

We don’t organise ourselves as a hierarchy but as a body, with Jesus as the head. Rather than relying on titles or positions, we function as a community of believers with different responsibilities, each using our unique gifts to serve, encourage, and build one another up.

LBC only exists because of the contribution of every member and volunteer. From those who welcome people at the door, to those leading in worship, teaching children, setting up chairs, or praying behind the scenes—every role matters. We are a family working together, united in our love for Jesus and our desire to share His hope with the world.

If you're looking to get involved, there’s a place for you here! Whether you have a heart for serving, leading, or simply connecting with others, we invite you to join us as we live out our faith together.
