Tim Burnham - Associate Pastor, Elder

Tim joined our team at NSBC in September 2023. Before moving to Swindon Tim was employed as a Trainee Pastor at Bethesda Baptist Church Felixstowe whilst also studying at Cornhill. Prior to training as a pastor he worked at a few churches up north as a youth worker after studying youth work with applied theology in Glasgow. He also spent time abroad in Senegal working at a school for missionary children and South Korea mostly helping Korean missionaries with English. Whilst Tim was in South Korea he ate lots of tasty food and got a black belt in Taekwondo - although he's not kept his practice up so is nowhere as good or fit as he used to be. Tim loves listening to a variety of music, but mostly noisier kinds.

Ben Pike - Elder

Ben and his wife Rachel have been part of NSBC from it's early days. Ben serves in a variety of roles in the education sector. He loves to see people growing in the Lord and fulfilling the great commission thar Jesus gave us.

Marius Busan - Elder

Marius grew up in Romania in a Christian family, blessed with the example of a faithful upbringing. He committed his life to the Lord at 17 and has since used his gifts to serve in various roles, including music, teaching, and preaching. After moving to the UK in 2008, Marius joined NSBC where he served as a deacon for two terms between 2012 and 2016. Passionate about worship as a lifestyle, he believes worship extends beyond music to encompass how we live daily. One of his favorite worship quotes is from Louie Giglio: "Worship is our response to what we value most. What we value most will determine how we live our lives."

Marius is also deeply committed to fostering strong, supportive relationships within the church, recognizing that Sunday mornings alone are not enough to nurture these bonds. He is passionate about Growth Groups, which provide a space for relationships to flourish around Bible study and fellowship. Outside of church life, Marius works full-time as a software consultant and enjoys riding his motorbike in his spare time.

Bob’s interests include furniture making, home renovation, gardening, roast dinner, coffee, and dark chocolate. Bob and Chris are both retired which does mean that life is as busy now as before.
