Stephen & Sarah Brindley
Lead Pastors
At the age of 18, Pastor Stephen felt called to leave his full-time occupation as a manager in sales and 'step out of the boat' to serve the Church he was currently attending.
After a year of serving voluntarily, both Pastor Stephen and Pastor Sarah were asked to take over as Youth Pastors, full-time, of a fast-growing church in Gravesend. Over the next 13 years, they moved from Youth Pastors into more developed leadership roles. Since then, their zeal for serving God through their practical life application preaching and teaching has increased, and their main passion now is helping people achieve their destiny in their walks with God.
Pastor Stephen and Pastor Sarah have always put God first in their lives, and truly stand by His Word in everything they do. Their faith in God is strong, and they are able to communicate and apply God's Word (simply and practically) to today's society.
