Leadership Team

Our leadership team consists of our two pastors (Stuart & Paul) and a team of deacons. The pastors give the spiritual lead and direction to the church, whilst the deacons work with them and take care of the practical matters of the church and our buildings.


Stuart Balmer (Pastor)		Peter Davidson - Facilities
Married to Andrea and father of three grown up children. Born and bred in Suffolk he loves all sports, is a long suffering supporter of Ipswich Town and enjoys camping, walking, gardening and the outdoor life in general. He has been a follower of Jesus since he was 14 and since being called to pastoral ministry in the 1980's has led both rural and town churches before joining us here at FBC in 2019. He says 'My greatest joy in life is introducing Jesus to people and helping them understand the Bible and it's relevance to life today'.		Peter has lived in Fressingfield all his life. He became a follower of Jesus over 40 years ago when he was 18 years old. He runs a local construction business and is currently heading up the Church rebuilding project.
