Ministry Team

Andrew Waugh  Senior Pastor
Andrew Waugh (Senior Pastor since November 2011) is married to Denise and the proud Dad of three grown-up sons.  A Christian since the age of 19, he’s looking forward to revival in Stockton and to The Tab experiencing more of the presence of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.  He enjoys playing the guitar (pointing out that he’s suffered for his art and now it’s the audience’s turn) and canoeing with Denise.

David Taylor-Black  Assistant Minister
We have been in Stockton for nearly five years.  The North East of England is one of the best kept secrets.  My wife Sharon and three children Caleb, Hosanna and Elijah are thankful to God that we were called to this area and to The Tab.  With all the rain up here there are plenty of places to do a spot of fishing.

John Bunce  Assistant Minister
I was trained as a teacher and was the Deputy Head for 22 years at Holy Trinity CE Junior School in Fairfield, Stockton.  Ten years ago I was asked by the church to join the ministry team as an Assistant.  I am married to Heather and we have three grown-up children and five grandchildren. Although I have lived in the beautiful North East for over 40 years, I was born in London, so naturally support Fulham FC!

Helen Burns   Children’s & Family Worker
My name is Helen Burns and I am the Children’s and Family worker at the Tab.  I am married to Paul and I have worked part-time at The Tab since finishing my Children’s Evangelism Diploma at Cliff College, Sheffield. I also work at a local primary school as a Teaching Assistant. In my spare time I love spending time with friends, cooking, reading and generally having fun!
