The Leaders of LBC

Our church leadership is made up of a diverse group of men and women who all share the passion of serving Christ, His people, and His church

Our Pastor

We believe we have a great pastor who is gifted by God to share His Word with us! Stuart Wadsworth has been with us at Larkhall Baptist for 18 years and has been teaching on Gods word for the past 25 years! Here’s what he has to say about himself!

"I came to a personal faith in Christ in my mid teens in my home town of Burnley in Lancashire. Later on in life I moved to Scotland with my wife Ruth, to study at the Bible Training Institute, now called International Christian College. Following a further year of study I accepted a call to Kings Park Baptist Church in Glasgow where I served for ten years. In January 1992 myself and Ruth moved to Larkhall Baptist Church with our two boys. Later that year the arrival of twin girls completed the family. We have been settled in Larkhall and faithfully serving God here ever since."

Elders and Deacons

Since 2003 the leadership of the church has been shared between Elders and Deacons, who work alongside our Pastor. At the moment we have three Elders who concentrate upon the spiritual oversight of the church. The Deacons have responsibility for the care of church members and also perform vital practical and administrative tasks. Elders and Deacons are appointed by they church for three years and are responsible to the church. At present we have three Elders and six Deacons – three men and three women.
