It's a month of new beginnings! We’re thrilled to announce that Becky Thomas, Operations Manager at Beeston Free Church Nottingham is joining the UCAN Board. Becky has worked in church operations for 12 years and has been involved in running UCAN events for 5 years, including overseeing our most recent Cutting Edge conference.
Becky writes, "I am passionate about seeing gospel ministry and local churches thrive. To see that happen we need to see those in local churches equipped and resourced well - with not only teachers, pastors and evangelists but also with those whose gifts in administration, management and leadership can be used for God’s glory and the growth of his kingdom.
UCAN and its members have played a significant role in equipping, training and resourcing me in my role – a role I found myself in almost by accident (though of course there are no accidents in God’s plan!). I am really looking forward to joining the Board and serving the church through UCAN."
In other Board news, Mark Parsons – Operations Manager at Christ Church Clifton – is stepping into the role of Chair of the Board since Jules Morgan has moved to be an Executive Director of UCAN, alongside Andy Bagwell.
Please do pray for the UCAN Board – Mark Parsons, Penny Clarke, Gavin Smith, Becky Thomas, Andy Bagwell and Jules Morgan as we meet for our annual strategic review and planning retreat at the end of November to consider UCAN priorities and plans for 2023 and beyond.
