Elinor Magowan

Elinor has been a pastor’s wife for 26 years - in Whitby and Reading – so is familiar with the privilege of ministry and its challenges.

She is now one of FIEC’S Directors for Women’s Ministry, with a particular heart to see ministry wives flourishing in their own walk with the Lord as they are in ministry alongside their husbands.

Elinor is a member at Carey Woodley in Reading (a congregation of Carey Baptist Church started in 2023) with her husband David (pastor at Carey Baptist). To see a new church becoming established has been a huge joy.

She has a legal background and taught English to speakers of other languages in Middlesborough and Reading. She also provided pastoral care to women in mission with UFM Worldwide and enjoyed visiting mission partners in situ and enabling churches to support them more effectively.
