OVERSIGHT & LEADERSHIP

The church is overseen by Elders, one of whom is recognised and ordained as Pastor. The oversight are appointed under God, with the agreement of the church's membership to lead and direct the affairs of the church and care for the people. Their authority rests on service and love for the people of the church, not power.

Pastor Gary Wilson
If a person be in Christ Jesus he is a new creation the old has gone the new has come. These were the words that the apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:17 and they changed my life. 21 years ago I was a mess physically and spiritually I was seeking for meaning and purpose in my life and I thought that it could be found by filling myself with alcohol, going clubbing and generally putting myself first. Yet at the end of a night out or the morning after the night before I was depressed, alone and empty. I remember crying out to God for help as  I had become more aware of my sin and the guilt I had over hurting others and turning my back on God. Alone in my room I asked God to forgive me and help me to get out of the mess I was in, I experienced a warm cleansing and loving presence enter into my life. I felt the chains of guilt being loosed, I experienced an amazing graceful love that filled me with joy and a freedom from sin as the cleansing power of God's Holy Spirit entered into my life. I was a new creation the old life had gone and the new life in Christ had come. Maybe you are looking for a new beginning in life? Maybe you are lonely and depressed, struggling with addiction and condemnation I want to encourage you to cry out to God. Turn to Him, He is gracious slow to anger and abounding in love. He is for us not against us. Cast all your burdens upon Him because He cares for you.  You can have a relationship with God because He has come in the form of His only Son Jesus Christ to take away our sin and to create in us a new heart where the old has passed and the new has come.

Please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail or phone if we can help you. Better still come long to one of our worship meetings and experience the reality and the power of God's presence when we gather together in His name.

DEACONS


Deacons are men and women appointed to look after the practical affairs of the church's life and ministry, and are chosen by church members. Both elders and deacons together make up the church board, which meets monthly for prayer and discussion of church affairs.

Our desire is to develop and release men and women in the gifts and ministries that God has for them. We seek to involve them in the areas of worship, outreach, mission, work amongst children and young people, with responsibility for leading these ministry teams given to church members.


Our Origins


As a result of much prayer and preparation, Skye Bible Church was established in February 1994.

The vision was of a New Testament church with the same hallmarks as the first Christian believers: fervency of prayer, unity of purpose, dedication to the gospel and dependence upon the Holy Spirit.

The people of Skye Bible Church stand firmly on the belief that Jesus Christ is as alive and relevant today as He ever has been and invite you to join them in that experience.
