Paul Sutton - Pastor

Paul is our Pastor who started at GBC in August 2021. He was born in Leicester and spent the first 11 years of his life growing up in Market Bosworth, a small market town west of Leicester. Due to those formative years, he is an avid fan of Leicester City FC!

Paul's family moved to Hastings, where he came to faith in Jesus as a teenager and was baptised at 18. He met Laura at church in Hastings and they married shortly before the Lord called him into full-time pastoral ministry. Paul completed a BA in Applied Theology at Moorlands Bible College in Dorset, a part of the country close to their hearts.

Paul was Assistant Pastor at Shirley Baptist Church in Southampton before moving up to Letchworth to Pastor GBC. Paul enjoys playing guitar and drinking good coffee whenever possible! On a day off, Paul and Laura can typically be found relaxing over nice food and countryside walks.
