The Church welcomed Neil Blake as their new minister in June 2008, following the retirement of Derek Cook after six happy years at BBC.

 

Neil is married to Trina and they have one young daughter called Faith and a much older Jack Russell terrier! They live in the Baptist Church House in Woollard Way and Faith attends the village school.

 

Neil has had a varied career. He was a bus driver, ran a newsagents shop and then after a personal experience of meeting with Jesus Christ he decided to train for the Christian Ministry. He has been involved with Baptist Churches as a Youth Minister and for the last five years as the Assistant Minister of a large Baptist Church in Leighton Buzzard.

 

He is interested in archery, good quality films, loud concerts, chess, reading, second hand books, poetry, education, music and bread making.
