Anita Burke
Hi, I’m Anita. I was baptised as a Christian in 1999 whilst in my 30’s. Initially I attended a small local church in Billingham which then merged into a larger fellowship based further afield. In 2003 I wandered into the Tab one winter Sunday morning and have been wandering in and out ever since. I am married to Jason and we are parents to two teenagers. I am employed in Middlesbrough as the Senior Clerk at a Primary School. In 2008 I was asked to become involved in helping to organise the Tab Youth group and continue to do so. It’s also been great to be part of the Stewarding Team and more recently, the Prayer Team. Once a month I stay up late on a Friday night (until 3am!) and volunteer alongside people from churches across the Teesside area as part of Stockton Town Pastors. In 2011 my name was put forward for the Deaconate and I was voted on to the team that summer.

Hi, I became a Christian when I was 15, I have been involved with ’The Tab’ since 1967 and in that time I have led children’s work, youth work, family holidays, social events, led church worship for 10 years at ‘The Tab’, other churches and open air meetings. I am responsible for building and heating, social events, part of the walking group and I play guitar and drums in the worship band.

I have been at the Tab since 1971, and during that time have been Sunday School Director, Bible Class Leader, Deacon, Treasurer, and also an Elder for a short period. I am currently responsible for keeping an eye on the building, advising on Conference bookings and generally helping John Hughes when he needs it. I am also a part of the Treasurer’s team and work one day a week as a volunteer in the Coffee House.
