David Spriggs
Consultant Moderator
This is a role to help provide the church with some oversight and cohesion as it seeks for a new Ministry Team Leader.
He will work one day per week for QRBC.
David, is an Accredited Baptist Minister and was previously the Team Leader at QRBC from 1980-1992,
when he moved to national posts in the Evangelical Alliance and then Bible Society for whom he still works.
However, both he and Eileen, his wife, have continued to be members here and he has preached and contributed to the
church's life throughout the last fifteen years, so he is well known by the members.
He has written several books and writes Daily Bible Reading Notes for a number of publishers, so helping people
engage with the Bible is one of his passions. He also has a special interest in mission, prayer and spirituality.
He is pleased to be allowed to contribute to the church at this significant time as it looks to the future.
