My home church in the 1980s was a large Baptist church in the north of England which was known across the region as a Bible-believing church and a centre for gospel preaching.
Enjoying the stability of a godly pastor for over 40 years, the church was greatly blessed with many conversions, growing from a faithful few to a regular congregation of 300.
I was privileged to be taken along there by my parents and through the active children and young people’s work I became a Christian as a young child. Our involvement in the work of this church was the centre of my family’s life as I grew up, and was a very positive early experience.
