Pastor
Revd Dr Chris Ellis
Chris has a keen interest in worship and has written a number of books on this subject, as well as publishing hymns, prayers, and daily bible reading notes. He also tries to think through some of the tough questions about God and the world we live in. He says “My vision of the Church is a local community of the disciples of Jesus who gather regularly for worship and who support one another in their daily living and witness. Their love for God should be infectious, encouraging others to discover the life-changing grace of God for themselves.”
Chris became pastor of West Bridgford Baptist Church in September 2006. Before that he was principal of Bristol Baptist College, preparing people for Christian Ministry, and has pastored in Brighton, Cardiff, Swindon and Sheffield. He has a wealth of experience and a lot of enthusiasm. He is married to Marilyn and they have four children and eight grandchildren
