On 3 September, Eden Baptist Church, Cambridge ordained Matt Lillicrap into full-time ministry and inducted him as assistant pastor of the church.
Representatives from Oak Hill Theological College, where Matt trained, joined with many family and friends for the event. Julian Hardyman, Eden’s senior pastor, explained how God had led the church to him.
Chris Ansberry, part of the Oak Hill faculty and a member of Enfield Evangelical Free Church where Matt and family had been members while at Oak Hill, commended Matt to Eden, not only for his preaching and teaching gifts, but especially for his godly example.
