Our Preachers

Rev. Stephen Holland (North of England)
The Rev. Stephen Holland is a native of Wales and came to saving faith in Jesus Christ at the age of eighteen. After a brief study with those falsely called Jehovah’s Witnesses, he came to realize salvation is not something that can be worked for or achieved by human merit. Rather, it was something that was bought for sinners at great cost to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Stephen trained for the ministry at the Faith Mission Bible College, and at the London Reformed Baptist Seminary. He is the pastor of Westhoughton Evangelical Church in the North West of England, a position which he has held for over ten years. He serves as the North of England PTS Wickliffe Preacher.

Rev. Paul Dowling (Northern Ireland)
The Rev. Paul Dowling was born in 1969 in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, and brought up in a Christian home. He came to faith at 17, and committed his life to serving the Lord.
Paul spent a year in Faith Mission Bible College, a year on the London City Mission City Evangelism Course, and three years in the Irish Baptist College. He was minister in Whiteabbey Congregational Church for 16 years.
Paul is married to Rekekah and they have four grown-up children, Samuel, Hannah, Bethany, and Cherith.
