Leadership Team
Jesus is the ‘head’ of our church and we seek at all times and in every way to be governed by him through his revealed word and God appointed leadership.Our senior leadership team is made up of the elders and ministers and they oversee the vision and direction of the church.
There are currently three leaders on the team together with Chris; Nigel Joda who is an elder and heads up the Prayer Ministry.Chris Kapnisis, who is The Bridge 
Community Development Director and Stewart Elman who is our Youth Pastor. The team form the spiritual oversight and directional leadership of the Bridge Church.
Leaders
“The church stands and falls on leadership ”
The Bridge Church is autonomous, which simply means we are not controlled by a denomination but we govern our own affairs. Having said that, we are fully affiliated to the ‘Assemblies of God of Great Britain and Ireland’, which currently has around 800 Pentecostal churches nationwide. We are a member of the Evangelical Alliance, and a registered charity (Charity no. 1054387).
Chris and Usha Scott
Chris and Usha are the senior leaders at the Bridge Church. Chris is a fully accredited minister with AOG and has been in pastoral work since 1991. He was professionally trained as a building control surveyor and worked for a number of local authorities in London. He and his wife Usha have two teenage children, Joshua and Naomi.
He and Usha have felt the call of God in 1988, while serving on the leadership of a church in Hounslow. Three years later they were leading a re-pioneered church in Southall. Chris joined the church in January 2001 and has a passion to “know Jesus and make him known”.
He believes “we were all created with a unique and amazing God given destiny which can only be fulfilled when we know Christ as saviour and Lord” and his goal is to “re-connect people to God and equip them to fulfil their life mission for which they were created.”
As well as leaders, we also have a team of Trustees that together with the leadership team form the Church Council, which oversees the legal, financial and charitable operations of the church. Bridge Church leaders are sold out and passionate about building the kind of church that Jesus promised he would build.
