The month of June marked the start of a new era in the life of Lansdowne Baptist Church (LBC) in Bournemouth, as Peter Baker took over as senior minister.
More than 400 people gathered at LBC from all over the UK to attend the official welcome service for Peter and his wife Siân on June 8. A further 120 also watched online from 12 different countries.
The couple have previously served at the Above Bar Church in Southampton, Romford Evangelical Church and Highfields in Cardiff. Representatives from all three churches attended the service, and some of those who couldn’t be there in person sent greetings via video, including former ministers Harry Kilbride, Steve Brady, Chris Kelly and the daughter and son-in-law of Francis Dixon.
