All Change at BUS- saying Hello!
In our last Connect we said a fond farewell to 3 of our team, and now this month we are excited to say hello to some new faces! Our new National Team has grown as we welcome Glenn, Lisa, Lyndsay, Andrew and Brian, so do give them a warm welcome and pray for them as they settle into their new roles here at BUS.
We have also been joined by Katrina Eves, our new Administrative Assistant and our Training Hub and Comms support, Mae Moore. Most of you may also be familiar with Ali Laing, who will now be sporting two hats as both Younger Generation, and Digital Church Lead.
Each of our colleagues has an exciting new role to develop and are keen to connect with you as they look at ways to enhance our national work and support what God is doing across our churches.
So come and meet the new team…

“In this new role I am managing the financial affairs of the Baptist Union, supporting and contributing to the work of the National Team and serving and encouraging our network of churches. I’m really looking forward to us developing a greater understanding of finance as a ‘ministry’ rather than just a functional task and to find ways of building finance teams and support networks for our treasurers, as well as involving more of our younger generations in this.”
Katrina Eves, Administrative Assistant

“My new role involves supporting the team through administration- my love for organising is coming in handy as I keep the BUS database updated with new information, deal with the bookings for the BUS holiday accommodation in Findochty and the admin for Lead Academy, our leadership learning community . As well as keeping up-to-date with the general office admin, I also manage the administrative side of the BUS retirement properties and their related matters.”
Mae Moore, Training Hub and Comms Assistant

Part of my role also includes developing communications with younger generations through platforms like our new Instagram!”
