Beacon Church Elders And Their Wives

Jamie Muir

Jamie is married to Joanne and have five growing children. His main responsibility is to lead the Church forward through teaching of the word and oversight of the various programmes and events in which Beacon is involved. His passion is to see Beacon become a caring family with a heart for the least, the last, and the lost, as well as a centre for healing and a house of prayer. Jamie works as a doctor in Whitchurch; he is a founder trustee of the charity “Medic Assist International” and works to support oversees voluntary workers through his work with “Healthlink 360”.

Ken Holland

Ken is married to Ann and is responsible for Beacon’s finances and administration. Ken headed up a Christian charity working with children and families for 27 years. Whilst his duties there mainly involved administrative issues, Ken was frequently called upon to preach in churches supporting the charity’s work and he was also responsible for supporting and encouraging the counsellors and outreach workers on his staff. Together with Ann, he moved to Whitchurch from the South East in April 2006 following their retirement. They have four grown-up children. Both were members of a Baptist church in Kent, where Ken was part of the leadership team for a number of years. Ann’s love of young children saw her planning and running the crèche. Both Ken and Ann have a heart for pastoral care.

Dave Williams

Dave is married to Su and has responsibility for publicity and for safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults. Before retiring, Dave was a teacher for 37 years in London and Hereford. His wife, Su and he were foster parents, caring for 53 children (not all at the same time) and were also guide and scout leaders. Dave and Su moved to Whitchurch in 2013 and to Higher Heath in 2015. Prior to this they lived in Leominster and attended Hereford Baptist Church, where they were deacons. They have a particular heart for local and international mission and upon retiring spent six months teaching and encouraging underprivileged children and widows in southern Sri Lanka.

Glyn Chapman

Glyn has been married to Linda for 37 years, she helps with ladies groups, Alpha and with children's work. They have two children, Emma and Andrew, both working and living close to London. Glyn and Linda have until recently run their own business and alongside this have been involved in church leadership in Rugby and Nuneaton before moving to the Whitchurch area in 2018. Glyn is a worship leader and carries a prophetic heart for us to all enjoy the abundant life God gives and to share this with others.

Wider Leadership Team

In addition to the elders and their wives, Beacon Church is served by some great men and women who give freely of their time to lead different areas of ministry. Some of these include children and youth work, connect groups, worship, pastoral, outreach, prayer and admin.
