Who's Who?

Our Pastor, Tim Gamston, was converted at the age of 11 while on holiday in South Wales. After leaving school Tim served an engineering apprenticeship. He remained in engineering, as Contracts Manager for an international engineering company in the Midlands, until he moved with his family to take up the pastorate in July 2005.

Tim is committed to teaching God's word and showing how it is relevant for our lives in the 21st Century. His hobbies include sailing and walking. He is married to Joanna and they have three young children, Joshua, Rebekah and Edward.


Our Elder Dave Denton - ' After an engineering background (and 2 years in the RAF) God called me to serve Him as a Missionary with the London City Mission.  For twenty-one years I headed up a team together with my wife Pat, in a large Mission Centre in London. Then I served as Chaplain with the London Ambulance Service until my retirement. Pat and I continue to serve the Lord together at Broadstone, our aim is to make Christ known: build up and encourage His people, bringing glory to our Saviour's Name. We have four children, and several grandchildren. Our hobbies include walking, travelling, music and bird-watching.'
