Structure & Vision of the Project:
Preston Baptist Church is served by a Leadership Team comprising of Ministers, elders, Deacons and Action Team Leaders.
Our Church mission statement is " Seeking Gods heart, serving the community".
We strive to be an accessable, welcoming Church to all age groups, who place a desire to serve Christ as central to everything we do.
About the location of the Project:
Preston is a seaside holiday resort - part of the English Riviera, situated between costal towns of Paignton and Torquay. With a mixed socio-economic population there are several large secondary schools in the surrounding area.
About the youth work of the Project:
Current youth work consists mainly of Sunday Junior church and a youth club for 7 - 14's, an over 14's group runs as is pratical.
We would like to reach out and draw in the youth of the local community allowing regular Discipleship for the young people, so they may grow in their faith and communicate this to their peers.
