LEADERSHIP

It is the aim of the Elders and Deacons to empower every member of the church to become a disciple of Jesus Christ and experience a transformed life and in turn go on to make disciples themselves. As we work alongside other churches in the town, we aim to transform the spiritual temperature of our area.

OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM

Team Leader - Ken Matthews

20 years ago Grantham Baptist Church sent the Matthews family to Moorlands Bible College to train for pastoral and missionary work.

They have come home! Ken now leads the GBC team, ably supported by his lovely wife Sue.They have been privileged to watch their heavenly Father do many wonderful things in Bournemouth, Northern Uganda, South Sudan and even the Forest of Dean, and are full of faith that God will do it all again here in sleepy Grantham!

They believe that their principle role is to equip and mobilise every follower of Jesus to be a missionary in the place that God has put them. God has truly blessed them with nine lively grandchildren, and their own sons and daughters are eagerly following the Lord in their lives.

Ken's loves include preaching the gospel and teaching, gathering kingdom-come prayers, mentoring young leaders and equipping children and youth to do outstanding things with God.

Sue enjoys travelling overseas to serve the poor, visiting people,encouraging friends, meeting people as an optometrist and hospitality.

Ken has an agricultural background with the earthy sense of humour and you may hear him laughing before you catch sight of him! Sue loves making things pretty but has failed to achieve that at the time of writing with Ken.

They look forward together to many years serving the church in Grantham and maintaining their input to the overseas settings that they have devoted so much of their lives to.
