Hi, I’m Jonathan, a proud Yorkshireman who was born and raised in Sheffield. I’m married to Anna and we are blessed to have two boys. I became a Christian at University when I was confronted with the historical truth of Jesus' death and resurrection. In my spare time I enjoy good coffee, time with family and watching whatever sport is on TV.

I’m Mark and I’m one of the pastors at BEC. I’m married to Lizzie and we have two children; Barnabas and Tabitha. I was brought up in a Christian family and as a teenager, I came to realise the Christian faith has firm foundations and is historically credible. However it was only when I was 18 that I was challenged that if it is true then I must trust Christ and live wholeheartedly for Him.

Hi, I’m Kathryn, and my role at BEC is to help the church run as smoothly as possible!  I am married to Simon and we have two (nearly) grown up boys.  Outside of church activities I enjoy feeding family and friends, going out for walks, playing the piano and doing the occasional French translation.

I was brought up in a Christian home where God was loved and honoured, and I came to trust Jesus as my Saviour around the age of 11.  His faithfulness to me has been a constant source of strength and amazement ever since.

I grew up in Charlotte Chapel, Edinburgh and came to faith in the Lord Jesus there when I was 17. I studied English Literature and History at the University of Edinburgh and worked in accountancy for a couple of years before going to Bible college in Glasgow. I discovered a passion for youth ministry in 2002 during a short-term mission trip in Wisconsin, USA. After that, I served as youth worker at Charlotte Chapel for a year, and at Niddrie Community Church in Edinburgh for 6 years. I love introducing young people to Jesus, investing in their spiritual growth and encouraging parents in the discipleship of their families. I also like running, climbing and watching movies. I’m married to Helen and have 3 young boys.
