One of our former Pastors has been called to a church in America. Simon Mawhinney was Youth Pastor in Moira Baptist in 2015 and later became Pastor from 2018 until 2020. That year he recognised the call of God to undertake further theological training. He enrolled with The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kentucky, initially studying from home and then in 2021 moving to Louisville where they continued to study and serve the Lord.
Then in March 2025 Simon took up the role of Associate Pastor in Floyds Knobs Baptist Church, Indiana. This family photograph with Lynda, Noah, Isaac, Anna, Faith, Lily and Daniel. was taken on their first day in their new church.
The photograph below was taken on 18th May 2025 when Simon and Lynda visited the church during their holiday. They are pictured with Adam Patton (Elder) Pastor Mark Patterson and Barbara, Pastor Jonny Dodds and Ralph Patterson (Elder).
