Duo joins leadership at West End church

Members of Hope Community Church in London’s West End have a sense of anticipation as a change of leadership takes place. Alex Brito as pastor and Tim Gardner as evangelist are joining Hope, serving Soho and Covent Garden, each working for the church part-time. Alex and Tim took over from Andrew Murray and Keith Holmes in September.

Alex comes from Mosaic Multicultural Church, which was based across the river in Southwark, but has been adopted by Hope. Members of Mosaic Church have come with him to Hope. Tim, an elder at Hayes Lane Bromley, knows Hope well, having worked alongside them in the past as Grace Baptist Association evangelist. He looks forward to offering pastoral care for the existing members, and reaching out to the city centre community.
