About Cambourne Church 

Bill is a Baptist minister, who came to Cambourne in September 2019 following pastorates in Maidstone and West Bromwich. He is married to Kerrion and they have three children. Prior to training for ministry he was a probation officer in the West Midlands. Buy him a pint, take him to a comedy gig, and don’t disturb him while the Six Nations is on the television, and he is a happy man! More seriously, his desire is for church members, including himself, to be more deeply rooted in prayer and more engaged in being and telling the good news of Jesus.
