Denise is the minister at Darkhouse Baptist Church, Coseley, in the Black Country. She moved to the Black Country for six months, 27 years ago and now considers the Black country to be her home! She has worked in the NHS for 30 years as a GP for 27 years and was involved in educating and training medical students and GPs.
In 2017, she stepped back from medicine as her primary vocation to train as a Baptist minister and has been working bi-vocationally until 2023. Denise was ordained in the car park of Darkhouse Baptist church during the COVID19 pandemic when we weren’t allowed to gather and sing indoors!
Denise chairs the HEBA Justice Hub core team having been a member since since its inauguration. She is a co-researcher on Project Violet.
As Christ’s disciples today, we stand on the shoulders of giants. So many inspirational people have gone before us. We also have so many inspirational people around us as role models to inspire us. We have a responsibility to continue that thread and be an inspiration to others with God’s help, and by his grace.
Denise enjoys walking, singing, cooking and visiting coffee shops whenever she can! |
