Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Graham and Mairi McBain about their ministry in Hartlepool, UK. Graham and Mairi are Community Ministers, based out of Headland Baptist Church. Rather than pastors in the sense of leading congregations, they are “joining in” with God in the life of the community, intentionally not aiming to take over, lead or preach to. Graham was a Baptist minister for many years and Mairi trained in the field of human resources and later for ministry. But both of them experienced another kind of call which would take them from established forms of church leadership to walking alongside people who find themselves on the edges of community.
