1927-1934

Mr Burfoot, Stanley Peet & Mr Monk

The church was without a Pastor from 1927 until 1934. This was a trying time for the Church. They prayed continually that the Lord may provide a man to lead them. In 1929 they felt it right to extend an invitation to Mr Burfoot. At first Mr Burfoot declined feeling that it was not the Lord's will. The church persisted and later asked that he take on the role for six months. Mr Burfoot agreed but at the end of the six months he did not feel it was right to continue.

In October 1931 Mr Stanley Peet was asked to consider the position of Pastor. After spending some time discussing the matter with his family and putting it before the Lord, Mr Peet did not feel it was the Lord's will that he should be Pastor. Mr and Mrs Peet did however join the church in 1934 when they moved from Hope Baptist Chapel, East Ham. From that time they were both very active within the church and Mr Peet continued his work, with the London City Mission, as a missionary at the London Docks.

Two years later again the church thought it was right to extend an invitation for a Pastor. They called Mr Monk. However, Mr Monk did not feel it was right to accept the call.

These were hard times for the church but in God's time their prayers were answered and in 1934 Mr G Smith was called to be pastor.
