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.

Ps 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. 

Ps 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 2 grown-up children.

Ps Jacqui Richmond
