Paul Barton
Pastor, Hyde Heath Baptist Church
Show more
I was born and raised in Liverpool. By God’s grace I was raised in a Christian home where I was taught the Christian faith. I was converted at the age 11. I was baptised, became a member and served in my local church in Liverpool until early 2017. In April of that year I began to lead a church revitalisation project of a small Grace Baptist Church – Hyde Heath Baptist Church, in a village in Bucks. In late December 2021 I was appointed their first ever Pastor, by God’s grace. I have a great desire for the advancement of the Christian gospel across our land. I understand the difficulties, trials and joys of church planting and revitalisation as I have experienced them in my Christian life.
