Continuing the Journey of Leadership

After serving the NEC since 2021, Pastor John Francis begins a new chapter of leadership at the British Union Conference.

Pastor John Francis will serve as the British Union Conference Director of Family Ministries and Children’s Ministries after faithfully serving the NEC since 2021.

The North England Conference is pleased to announce that Pastor John Francis will be serving at the British Union Conference as Director of Family Ministries and Children’s Ministries.

Pastor Francis has served the North England Conference as Family Ministries Director since 2021. Throughout his time with the NEC, he has demonstrated a deep commitment to strengthening families, supporting children and promoting safe, nurturing environments across our churches and communities.

We are deeply grateful for his faithful service, leadership and valuable contribution to the mission of the North England Conference. While he will be greatly missed, we celebrate this new opportunity and trust that God will continue to guide and use him in this wider area of ministry.

Please join us in praying for Pastor Francis and his family as he prepares to begin this new role. We also invite you to continue praying for the NEC during this season of transition.
