Stuart Lawson:  Stuart completed his Honours Degree in Teaching in 2002, and subsequently worked in education in Scotland and Malawi.  He also spent five years working in an Independent church in Stirling, as a Worship Leader.   In October of 2016, Stuart took on the lead role at Oban Baptist Church, and completed his Theological Studies via Distance Learning from Spurgeons College.  Stuart loves God's Word, loves the gathering of God's people, and enjoys music, guitar, football and quality time with family.  He is passionate about Biblical transformation, and his heart is to champion Oban Baptist Church as a loving community, actively engaged in the community.  He's joined on the adventure by Helen (who runs the church's Toddlers Group and helps lead the Junior Church), their two beautiful daughters and two Border Collies!


The Leaders and Deacons of Oban Baptist Church - Ministry Champions

OBC has a group of dedicated men and women who form an essential part of the Leadership Team.  They contribute to the oversight of the church, and each leader/deacon operates in a servant leader capacity under two main capacities: as a Ministry Champion, where they offer support to their specific ministry area whilst championing the common voice of the Word of God and the Baptist Union's Declaration of Principle; and as support for and oversight of the Pastor.
