Our Team

All that we do here at BCC would not be possible without our dedicated team of staff and volunteers. Here is our staff team who work so hard to deliver the goals and vision of the collective body and provide a welcoming and safe environment for all to enjoy.

Pastoral Team

Our pastors are our spiritual leaders, caring, leading and guiding us as a church towards Christ.

Steve Reilly

Steve is the Senior Pastor here at BCC. Steve worked in engineering for 10 years before joining the church staff as our Youth worker back in 1986. In 1996 he became Associate Pastor, before taking on the role of Senior Pastor in 2010. Steve is married to Karen, and they have 2 grown-up children. 

Andy Lancaster

Andy leads our pastoral care team and part of our discipleship track. He served as member of the original team that planted The Kings Church in Boston Spa, before becoming an Elder at Bridge Street Church. He has served BCC since 1993. Andy is married to Melanie and they have 2 grown-up sons.

Bawa Leo

Bawa joined our pastoral team in 2021 and leads our Small Group network. Bawa has been a missionary for many years in many different countries. He previously held the role of head of mobilisation for WEC UK, before being called to serve as a pastor here in Leeds. He is married to Afy and they have two grown-up children.

Jacqui Richmond

Jacqui is involved with pastoral support, particularly within our womens’ ministries. After being a teacher for 12 years in Sheffield, Jacqui felt a calling into ministry and served as Children’s Director at Elim Church Northampton. She was later ordained as a Minister by Elim in 2023 and joined the team here at BCC. She is married to Leigh (who is also an ordained minister as well as being our Operations Manager) and they have a child named Beth.
