The Northern Baptist Learning Community
has announced the appointment of the Revd. Dr. Tim Mountain to the position of
tutor.
Tim is currently Senior Minister of Grantham Baptist
Church, Lincolnshire where he has served for nearly sixteen years.
Previously he was pastor of a church in Westerham, Kent. Before training for
ministry at Spurgeon’s College he was a secondary school teacher. He holds
biology and theology degrees, including a PhD in ecology, and is just
completing an MTh in Applied Theology. Tim says, “I am delighted to be able to
serve NBLC in this new role. I’m looking
forward to working alongside the other members of staff team.”
According to Dianne Tidball, governor of
NBLC and Regional Minister Team Leader in the East Midlands,
“Tim has been a good local minister, serving his church and enabling it to be an
outward looking community centred on Christ. He has served the
Association well particularly on our Ministry Development Group. He will
be missed but we wish him God's richest blessing in his new role.”
This is NBLC’s third recent staff
appointment. Clare McBeath and Glen Marshall
were called to be co-principals just three weeks ago. Both said how delighted they were that Tim
will be joining the new staff team adding,
“Tim combines a wealth of experience with an engaging style of teaching.”
Dr. Mountain will begin his new ministry in
August. As well as teaching at Luther King House in Manchester
he will also act as NBLC’s main link with the churches and associations of Yorkshire and the East Midlands.
