Chris & Marj Day



Chris & Marj Day led the church from 1982 to 2009. They are still actively involved in all aspects of church life, and their wisdom and experience remain a great asset in the church. They are the spiritual Father and Mother of the church!

Chris serves on the leadership team of the church, acting as a 'Pastoral Adviser'. Marj is a valued member of the church council, and both continue to provide input with regard to the church direction, vision, and strategy. As Dean woks full-time, Chris and Marj shoulder a lot of the pastoral care in the church, and Chris also participates in regular meetings with other church leaders in Brentwood, to maintain good relationships with them.

They are involved in many aspects of church life and have played key roles in building the church up to be what it is today.
