Jonathan Stephen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carr Jonathan Stephen (usually known as Jonathan Stephen) is the conservative, reformed principal of the Evangelical Theological College of Wales in Bryntirion, Bridgend, Wales. He is also the director of Affinity.
Born and brought up in Bournemouth, on the south coast of England, he was dramatically converted while a student in Bangor, on the north coast of Wales. Having received a Master's degree in political anthropology at the University of Birmingham, he undertook theological studies at Spurgeon's College, and subsequently spent three years teaching Religious Education in a large and lively inner-London comprehensive school.
Since then, Stephen has completed over 27 years of pastoral ministry: first at Amyand Park Chapel in Twickenham, and from 1987 to 2006 at Carey Baptist Church in Reading. During this time, his ministry to the wider Church, both in the UK and overseas, has steadily grown through his preaching, writing and involvement in numerous projects and Christian agencies. From 1998 to 2001, he served as President of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches. He left Carey Baptist Church in July 2006 to join the Evangelical Theological College of Wales.
Stephen is married to Sheila, a fully-accredited counsellor and former chair of the board of PROSPECTS. Sheila has also contributed to various Holiday Bible Club curricula and continues to be actively involved in HBC programmes.
