Paul Jackson

It was in 1999 that Paul accepted a call to be pastor of Gateway Baptist Church (known then as Burgess Hill Baptist Church), West Sussex. The church at present is (under Paul's ministry) pursuing a vision of a congregational network across the town and nearby villages. More on the church's vision can be found elsewhere on this web site. Paul is a visionary who sees God’s plans and seeks to encourage local church and para-church groups to move into all that God has for them. Paul also has an international preaching & teaching ministry which is explained in more detail on the ‘Pastor’s page’

David Salisbury

David and his wife, Carol, worked with Youth With A Mission for ten years where they were very much involved with the Discipleship Training Schools (DTS), first in the Republic of Ireland and then more locally at Holmsted Manor in Staplefield.  They came to Burgess Hill when they left YWAM in 1992 and quickly found a home at the church.  Having joined the leadership team for the youth club shortly after their arrival, they later took the helm for this for a few years.  David has served as a home group leader and, for nine years, as deacon.  He stepped down to take a break November 2017 and was subsequently appointed to the eldership in March 2018.
