Wendy Lamsdon: Church Secretary

I have belonged to HBC since I was three years old.  I am married to Johnnie and have two married daughters, Kerry and Zaynor and eight grandchildren.  My main responsibility at HBC is the role of Church Secretary and in addition to this, I am a member of Action 4 Youth and the team responsible for Safe to Grow in the church. Prior to retirement in 2004, I worked at the Royal National Institute for the Blind Vocational College as Programmes Manager.  My hobbies include cycling, walking and Victoriana.

David Eves: Church Treasurer

I was born in Portsmouth in 1945, where I met and married Gill. We now have 4 children and 3 grandchildren. I worked with Peugeot in the UK for more than 30 years, in both Accounting and IT. In 2002, I took early retirement and now work as a self-employed consultant to the motor industry. I was baptised in 1964 and, in 1978, we moved to Broughton Astley, joining Sutton-in-the-Elms Baptist Church where I served as Deacon, Senior Youth Leader and Organist. In 1990, we transferred membership to HBC, where I served as Worship Band Leader for a period of some 4 or so years. Following a time away from HBC, we returned and, in 2008, renewed our membership. I thank God that He has now given me the opportunity to serve the community in and around HBC through the Pathways centre outreach, a vision that I have shared for many years and a work involving direct contact with the people that He has called me to serve. And I am delighted to now be adding to that service to my Lord and my Christian family at HBC as both Deacon and Treasurer.

Kevin Muggleton - Deacon

I was born in Hinckley in 1955 and am married to Lesley with three children, Joel, Luke and Alex, and a dog, Dizee. Lesley has her own career and role in the church as well as wife, mother, encourager and home maker. The boys are at various stages in the education system and the dog is always willing to go for a walk. I am an Engineer and currently employed by a gas utility company. I have been a Christian since my early twenties and believe that the church is working with God, meeting the needs of the local and wider community and releasing individuals from oppression. Although I have spent time in teaching and youth work, I find myself drawn to a facilities role in the church, where I fortunately work alongside a strong, knowledgeable and capable team.

Paul Gilliver -Deacon

My background is in engineering, I became a Christian in 1971 and was baptised in 1972. In the mid 80’s felt a call to full time Christian work and did a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in 1988 to test this out. God really stretched us during this time and confirmed our calling, putting a particular emphasis on discipleship and bridging mission and the local church. We served with YWAM from 1992 to 2001, where our role was leading and developing Crossroads Discipleship Training Schools and it was during this time that my wife, Joy, and I joined HBC. Our desire is to encourage the British church to become more mission conscious, both locally and globally; by motivating, training and facilitating teams and individuals. I am now in a new phase of ministry, working with Saltmine Trust, focusing specifically on enabling short-term teams working on projects in Bulgaria. Joy & I are also part of the worship team at HBC.

Helen Drewery - Deacon

I joined HBC in 1985 and was baptised and became a member of the Church in 1993. During those years I have been involved in various groups and projects, including SALT, Girls Brigade, life groups, prayer groups, Pathways fundraisers and AlterNativity.

I am married with three adult children, all of whom make sure my life is never dull.  I work in Social Care and in my spare moments I enjoy walking - but not too far and watching a ‘good’ film.  I wish to serve God where He leads me within the Church and the community.  

Paul Hurst - Deacon

I was born and raised in Leicester and arrived in Hinckley shortly after my marriage to Jackie in 1987. We have two children Vikki and Zac. I became a Christian  and was baptised into the fellowship at HBC in 1994, since when I have been actively involved in most sections of the Church at one time or another.

I have spent my whole working life in construction, whilst socially life involves around football, whether it be playing, managing a local youth side or watching my beloved Leicester City.

My vision for the church has and always remains to demonstrate that the church of the 21st century is relevant and has a massive role to play in today's quick fix society.
