Leadership Team
Our minister, Tom McGibbon, retired at the end of May 2025 following seven years in ministry at Cleveleys Baptist Church (CBC). Our present leadership Team comprises of six deacons who serve the church in all aspects of church life. At this time, we are actively seeking a new minister.
In addition to being a member of the diaconate, Brian serves the church in various
ways: he is the Designated Person for Safeguarding, assists the administration team
and the children and young people’s groups and helps to lead one of our
Homegroups. You can often find him as a regular part of the church’s welcome team
on a Sunday morning or helping out on the sound desk when required. Outside the
church Brian enjoys time with family, charitable work, travel and photography.

She co-hosts a community centred drop in Bereavement Support Group; together with involvement in a Lunch Club for local children and their families in the school holidays, under the Transforming Lives for Good programmes (TLG), she has an interest in and shared responsibilities for pastoral care. Away from church she enjoys time with family and friends, reading and regards herself ad a garden 'potterer'.

Alan is passionate about All Age worship and making church time accessible to all. Families feature high on his priority list and at CBC he and Glenda run the children and youth work on a Thursday evening with a fantastic team of helpers.
