OUR CHURCH LEADERS

SIAN ROUS

  • I’m passionate about seeing the church reflect the vibrant life and love of God and building strong connections with our local community. Before leading New Life Church, I worked for many years in the NHS as a nurse and health visitor, and more recently qualified as a counsellor - I love coming alongside people in their journeys.

    I’m also a proud mum of three grown-up children and grandma to five wonderful grandchildren - I love an adventure and any chance to have one with the family is definitely my favourite thing!

RICHARD HEARING

  • I am part of New Life Dunstable but am actually a Lutonian born and bred. I was raised in a Christian household and my personal walk with God really took off while I was at University. My real passion is for unity and togetherness, particularly for lonely people.

    I am married to the lovely Eleanor.

ELEANOR HEARING

  • I was born and bred in Luton and, along with my husband Richard, joined New Life Dunstable in July 2021.

    Outside of my role on the church leadership team I serve as National Coordinator for Community Bible Study UK, an organisation whose mission is 'to make disciples of Jesus Christ in our communities through caring, in-depth Bible study, available to all'.

    I’m passionate about people and helping them to grow and mature in every area of their lives.

Our wider family

We are exploring relationship with the 24-7 Communities Network - a growing international family of Churches, Houses of Prayer and New Monastic Communities. The Communities Network is a part of the global 24-7 Prayer Movement. Through this network we find encouragement, friendship and support, and it helps keep us rooted in a bigger story.
