Ruth Bowden | Elder & Trustee

Ruth has been part of Stony Stratford Community Church since 1968, alongside her late husband Ernie. Their three daughters grew up in the church and benefitted greatly from the care and teaching of the church family. 

She was baptised in 1975 after sensing God’s call to make a public declaration of faith — a life-changing moment that gave her deep assurance of God’s love. 

Over the years, she has led various small groups, completed training in Prayer and Healing Ministry, and served faithfully on the Drop-In lunch club team for 25 years, supporting people through friendship, prayer, and the gospel. 

“Being part of this church has helped me grow in confidence, in faith, and in understanding who God has made me to be.  It is a privilege to be part of the Body of Christ and to be part of the Elders team”.
