Bethel is led by elders. Together they are responsible for the oversight of the church, although many others serve the church by helping or leading in different areas.
Mark Barnes
Mark joined Bethel as pastor in September 2007, before stepping back to take up a new role with Samaritan’s Purse in April 2020.
Mark is originally from Wrexham in North Wales, and spent many happy hours on the terraces of the oldest professional football club in Wales, although nowadays trips to the Racecourse are rare. When his two sons allow him the time, he relaxes by writing code for websites or doing historical research.
Nigel Clifford
Nigel runs his own construction company. He and his wife Anona have had three children and four grandchildren. As a young man, Christianity was the last thing on Nigel’s mind as he was caught up in the world of drugs. You can read more about Nigel’s story here.
