Welcome welcome
On 24 February around 120 people gathered at Welcome Hall Evangelical Church (WHEC), Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, for a welcome service as Martin Leech took on the role of Associate Pastor, alongside our Senior Pastor, Jeremy Brooks.
It was late 2021 when Martin and his wife Penny moved into the local area. Initially, caring responsibilities constrained Martin and Penny’s involvement in church life, but as these eased they quickly forged relationships and became valued church members. The Associate Pastor position became vacant just as Martin was beginning to consider a return to ministry, and so it was a timely suggestion from the elders that this might be the next step.
