Who's Who
Board Members
Northern Lights MCC does not have a Pastor at the moment, so the lovely Board are the people who are making sure that the church runs smoothly

Alice Chapman - Lay Delegate and Board Secretary
"As Lay Delegate my role is to represent Northern Lights MCC at the next general conference. That means that in 2016 I'll take forward our congregational votes on any changes to the constitution and bylaws of the UFMCC denomination. I also sit on the board here and make decisions on the day to day running of the church. I do not have a formal role on the board so I hope this means I can be a point of contact for anyone who might have questions or issues raised with the board." Alice also leads the Audio Visual Team. Contact: laydelegate@northernlightsmcc.org.uk Michael Wardle - Vice Chair James Davies - Treasurer Charlotte West - Pastoral Search, Building, and Finance Team Leader "Having served on the Board from 2010 to April 2016, and served as Treasurer for most of that time, I then stood down. Having had a lovely and well earned break in January 2017 I offered to be co-opted back onto the Board, to predominantly help with the Pastoral Search. I will be leading this process with help from 2 other Board members and 2 elected members, as well as mentor from the broader MCC denomination. Although I also lead the Building and Finance Teams this work is on hold until we have a new Pastor in place. It is my pleasure to serve the congregation and I'm especially looking forward to the journey of finding our new Pastor." |
