Who's Who

How we're led

Wylam Community Church is led by a small team of people who care deeply about the spiritual health of the church, the wellbeing of those who belong, and the good of our wider community. 

We believe church leadership works best when it is shared, prayerful, and rooted in relationship. Our leaders seek to listen carefully - to God, to one another, and to the wider church - as they discern direction, make decisions, and support the life of the church.

Leadership at Wylam Community Church is about service, responsibility, accountability, and helping the church live out its vision of loving Jesus, building community, and blessing Wylam.

For those who make Wylam Community Church their church home, the leadership team carries a particular responsibility for spiritual oversight, pastoral care, and accountability.

What the leadership team does

Together, the leadership team takes responsibility for:

  • Shaping vision, values, and priorities
  • Caring for the spiritual life and wellbeing of the church
  • Supporting worship, teaching, prayer, and pastoral care
  • Encouraging participation and shared life across the community
  • Overseeing ministries and activities
  • Making sure the church is safe, well-run, and acting with integrity

Decisions are made prayerfully and collaboratively, seeking wisdom, unity, and what will best serve the church and the community we’re part of.

Listening to the wider church

Although the leadership team carries particular responsibility, Wylam Community Church is shaped by shared discernment.

The voices, experiences, and insights of those who call the church their home are valued and welcomed. Where appropriate, leaders seek feedback and invite conversation, believing that God often speaks through the whole community.

Accountability and good governance

Wylam Community Church is a registered charity, and some members of the leadership team also carry legal responsibility as Charity Trustees for governance, finance, safeguarding, and compliance with charity law.

These responsibilities are exercised carefully and transparently, so that the church can pursue its spiritual mission with trust, integrity, and accountability.
