Minister

Ben is to be our new minister and is looking forward to working with the rest of the team. Ben trained at Bristol Baptist College and his first ministry has been at Canford Heath Baptist Church. He comes with a big heart for people. His hopes are that at Westbury we will all move closer to our great God, closer to each other in fellowship and closer to our community as we reach out to them in love. Ben’s induction is on Pentecost Sunday, the 27th May, at 5pm. All are invited!
