Our pastor - Mark Higgins: Mark was born to Christian parents in 1984 and grew up in Belvedere, South East London, counting this as a great blessing as he was taught the Scriptures and taken to church from birth. Though he grew up learning about Jesus, Mark realised that it was not enough to make him a Christian; without turning from sin and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Lord, he was in danger of judgment due for his sin.
Mark turned to the Lord Jesus in repentance and faith in 1996 and went through the waters of baptism on Easter Sunday, 1997, being added to the membership of Free Grace Baptist Chapel, Belvedere, where he remained until moving to Winchester in 2022. Mark also served as an elder in Belvedere for a couple of years before being called to Hyde Street Chapel.
Mark left school at 16, trained as a vehicle technician and remained in the motor trade until he left to go to the London Seminary in order to train for church ministry. He was called to be our pastor in August 2021 and took up the office after completing his studies at the beginning of July 2022.
