Ian Fulcher
Ian is our Senior Minister/Pastor and is married to Heather. They have three adult children - Sarah (married to James), Hannah and Gemma, and they moved to NBC in September 2007 after living in Rhyl, North Wales for nearly 12 years and prior to that, Leeds. Heather's parents also live with them as they need additional care and support at this time in their lives.
Here we are in Ecuador when we led a mission team from church there in August 2009 through Baptist World Mission.
Heather worked as a physiotherapist up until they moved to Norton when she gave up physiotherapy to serve with Ian in the church. Ian has a background in medical research (biochemistry) and also in policing. He was ordained in 1995 at Moortown Baptist Church in Leeds after studying at Spurgeon's College in London.
They both enjoy walking, cycling and keeping on top of the garden! They also have a Welsh Border Collie called Zaccs and a cat called Kizzie who are now nearly 14 years old!
