The Church has no paid clergy and Bishop Twigger along with his two counsellors, Jared Dempsey, an Industrial Psychologist, married with 4 children and Ryan Wark who works for Scottish Gas, married with 2 children, will be responsible for over a hundred members in the congregation. All three leaders served full-time missions for the Church in Leeds, France and Canada at age 19 years.
Bishop Twigger said the name of the Church spells out exactly who we worship, we focus on strengthening families, as strong families lead to a happy community.
