Our Team

Kevin Campbell
Deacon

I've been a Christian for over 40 years and have been in Leadership for over half that time in previous churches.  I started coming to Loughton Baptist with my wife Amanda a few years ago.. We immediately felt welcomed and became part of the family in no time. We felt the Lord had a purpose for us here. I can turn my hand to most things and on Sundays can usually be found at the back of the church operating the audio visual equipment.

I also serve the wider Baptist community by serving on the Finance Committee of the London Baptist Association.

When I have some spare time I can be found on or behind the stage of a local theatre company which definitely puts the Am in Amateur Dramatics.  

Lesley Wilson
Deacon

I am single and now retired. My professional background was working with children, young people and their families in a number of settings. 

I have been a Christian for over 50 years. I have been at Loughton Baptist Church for over 3 years now where I was recently elected as a deacon.  I am the designated person for Safeguarding and am also a trustee for Little Treasures, our church preschool.

 I have a passion for outreach; to share the love of Jesus within the local community.  I am also responsible for the ministry to children so, if you are a younger visitor to Loughton Baptist Church, you will find a warm welcome in our children’s church.

Rev. Dr. Alan Beavis

Deacon

I grew up locally and attended the former Buckhurst Hill County High School before training in medicine at the London (now Royal London) hospital, graduating and then becoming a Member of the Royal College of Physicians. I worked for many years in the NHS, both in hospital medicine and as a GP.

For 22+ years, I was the pastor of Totteridge Road Baptist Church in Enfield, from where I retired in 2016. During my tenure I led the church with a strong commitment towards multicultural ministry, and also developed overseas links in Zimbabwe, Kenya and Malawi’.  I chair the Friends of the Theological College of Zimbabwe (UK) group, as well as being on the board of the college. I travel regularly and speak at conferences and colleges, including the annual Assembly of the Baptist Union of Zimbabwe. 

In the UK I served for 5 years as chair of governors of 2 primary academies in Enfield. I support the wider Baptist fellowship, serving two terms as a director of the London Baptist Association and was the first chairperson of Ascension Trust, the organisation behind “Street Pastors”. I returned to the LBA board in 2016, and am currently involved with the Mission Partnership Funding and Ministerial Recognition Committees. Since retirement from full-time ministry, I have moderated several churches undergoing Pastoral Transition and currently am a mentor to newly accredited Baptist ministers. 

Hobbies, time permitting, include photography, theatre, travel and supporting Chelsea Football Club!
