Our Pastors:
Following the merger of
Harlington Baptist Church and Harlington Community Church on
1st January 2012, two pastors - Graham Criddle
and Neemias Antonio - have joint responsibility for leading
the church.
Graham Criddle is a “Minister
in Training” at Harlington Baptist Church. As such he works
as a pastor within the church while also attending
training courses at Spurgeon's College to gain the Baptist
Union Ministerial Accreditation in 2012.
Graham has been involved in
different areas of Christian ministry for over 30 years –
with the last ten being part of a church leadership team. He
believes that work within the church, as well as the work of
the church, is the responsibility of everyone within it and
he is passionate about working with fellow believers to
further God’s kingdom.
Prior to taking on pastoral
responsibility at Harlington Baptist Church, Graham worked
as a technology consultant in the IT industry for over 25
years.
Graham is married to Jo and they
have two adult sons, Richard & David.
Neemias Antonio is a fully
accredited minister within the Baptist Union of Great
Britain and the London Baptist Association.
He was born in Brazil and
brought up under strong Christian influences on his
life. From an early age, he developed his ministry as an
evangelist, and after finishing his theological degree
he started his ministry as a missionary and church
planter. He has 14 years pastoral experience in four
Baptist churches in Brazil.
He came to UK in 2003 with
his wife Elinere and his two daughters Rebeca and Raquel
and planted Hounslow Community Church (which became
Harlington Community Church) in 2005 which experienced
significant growth.
Now, following the merger of
Harlington Community Church and Harlington Baptist
Church he is one of the ministers here.
