We are an independently governed Church, not responsible to any denonminational head office. We have elders, deacons and wider leadership. The elders and their wives are currently:
David and Kirsten Parker
Came from New Zealand to Ridgeway in March 2006 to take up the position of pastors. They had been serving in a leadership role in a local Church for 13 years in Rotorua and in that time saw the church grow from around 60 to over 500 people. Prior to that David and Kirsten were living and working in Norfolk. They have two boys, Benjamin and Dominic.
Stuart and Joy Baker
Resident in Chingford for over 14 years, Stuart and Joy are both teachers in schools in the borough. Prior to Ridgeway, they served in a Baptist Church in Leyton where they were part of a small team sent to re-open a derelict Church.
They have 2 grown up married Children, both serving the Lord in ministry.
