We are currently led by a team of Elders until our new pastor is in place. There are many different areas where people can serve and lead in the church with the elders being responsible for the general oversight of church life.

I was brought up in a home where the Lord Jesus was served and loved. I heard about the Lord Jesus, however that was never enough - how can religious observance take away sins, it can’t. Only a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus counts, I saw my need. Under conviction of sin it is not pleasant but essential. I saw my need and cried out to him and hallelujah, he heard my cry.
In the autumn of 1982 my Dad became the Pastor of Lonlas Gospel Mission and I found a place where I was loved and respected and encouraged to serve the Saviour, and I and am still here. In the fullness of time I became a deacon and under Paul Koschiecha was brought in to eldership, I felt inadequate for such a task but the Lord has blessed me and I know this is the place where God has called me/ My prayer is that many will be saved and brought to faith in Christ and that we would be salt and light in our community.

Hi there, I'm Bruce. I was fortunate to grow up in a Christian home with Godly parents and family. Although faith is not hereditary, I did come to my own knowledge of my need for salvation and cleansing at an early age. Blessed with a lovely wife and 2 boys we have enjoyed the privilege to serve at Lonlas and partner in the work for His glory.
