Our Leaders

Our church is led by a team of men and women with a range of gifts and a shared passion to serve God, His people and His purposes.

The overall direction of the church is provided by those with recognised ‘Ephesian 4’ gifts and ministries, working together under the apostolic leadership of David Lyon. They work closely with our Elders, who lead and care for the church in its day-to-day life and mission, and our wider team of volunteer-leaders who serve so faithfully across many areas of the church.

David and Debora Lyon

David leads the church with a clear plan to see it grow and impact our localities and beyond. He takes responsibility for developing men and women to lead in the church, and he oversees the various congregations in the UK and in Kenya. Both David and Debora help to care for the congregations and local communities, with Debora coordinating some of the initiatives that we run to help support local families.

Richard and Sarah Jones

Richard is responsible for pastoral care in the church, coordinating our team of deacons and Life Group leaders (those who look after smaller midweek groups). He and Sarah help to look after the church family; their goal, to help every member become secure, fulfilled and firing on all cylinders! Richard also oversees many of our outreach initiatives which aim to introduce people to Jesus.

Richard and Annie Pemberton

Richard and Annie give their time and attention to the congregation that meets in Stoney Stanton, where they provide leadership and pastoral care. Richard also helps to look after our children’s groups, while Annie works in the church office during the week as the Operations Manager.

Phil and Sharon Chapman

Phil and Sharon mainly give their time to helping look after the congregation that meets in Market Harborough, and provide leadership and pastoral care to the congregation there alongside Stephen and Mandy. They are also both involved in the worship team, amongst many other things!

William and Rosanna Lyon

Together with his wife, Rosanna, William provides pastoral care to the church with a particular concern for those in the Stoney Stanton congregation. Will also brings co-ordination to a number of community focussed compassion projects and loves to see the church equipped and envisioned to reach the world around them with the love of Jesus. Will is a passionate worship leader and oversees the LRC worship teams, providing direction and support for the musicians and singers.
