Keith Plant (Pastor, Elder)
I’ve been married Tracy for over 33 years. I pastored a Church in Harold Hill, Essex for over 7 1/2 years, before coming to Stony Stratford in April 2012. Prior to becoming a Pastor, I was a builder and decorator for over 20 years. How I got from that to being a Minster in the Church is a long and interesting story! I continue to study at Union School of Theology in Bridgend Wales as I believe one should never stop learning.
As part of my work as a Pastor I like to meet people and hear their views – and share the good news of the Gospel with them.
I aim to teach the Bible in a way that is clear and helpful. I have found the message of the Bible to be as relevant today as it ever has been; and it is the best and most important news that anyone can ever share with another person!
In my spare time I try to keep fit, by running and weight training. My other interests are reading, watching good films – anything from period drama, comedy, Western, or Science fiction, as long as it makes me think, or at least makes me laugh! I also like listening to a very varied range of music which includes some Classical, (Handel is a particular favourite), then anything from Fairport Convention to the progressive rock group ‘Yes’, with a bit of Ash and Duran Duran thrown in!
Gilbert Stephenson (Teaching Elder)
I grew up in Zambia in a Roman Catholic family and we attended Church quite regularly. I always considered myself to be fairly religious and tried to be obedient to the church. But it was only when I stumbled across John MacArthur preaching on Premier Christian Radio that I finally understood what the Gospel is all about. It was only then that I came to understand that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone and in Christ alone. It was only when I came to true saving faith that the Scriptures were “opened up” to me and I began to understand what God wants us to know in His word.
