Elders are church members who nominated by the leadership team and elected by the members. They have particular responsibilities for the spiritual direction of the church, worship and prayer, discipleship and outreach.
Chris was inducted as Pastor in May 2015. His primary roles are preaching, teaching and pastoral care. He also encourages and supports the large group of other leaders who make church happen.
Susan currently serves the church as an elder. She moved to the village in 2002 but has happy childhood memories of spending long hot summers in Burwell with her grandparents and wider family.
She became a member of the church in 2002 and was married to Pete in the chapel in 2009. She loves to encourage people and to see them reach their full potential. She also likes spending time with her grown-up boys, going for long walks in the countryside and dabbling in a bit of gardening.
Susan leads services and is developing a preaching ministry (much to her own surprise).
Karen currently serves as an elder and has been a Christian and member of Burwell Baptist from her teenage years, more years than she cares to mention! She is married to James and has two grown-up children.
