Executive Secretary
Executive Secretary, Paul Haworth, was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire where he became a member of the Halifax Seventh-day Adventist Church after being baptised in Bradford at the age of 20. Previously, Paul was an agnostic who had been brought up in the Church of England faith.
Paul’s wife, Heather, who also works for the Church in the British Union Conference, moved to Halifax shortly afterwards as a Bible worker under Pastor A. Rodd. As Paul and Heather worked together in the church, the Lord impressed Paul that she was the one! They now have three children who are all married.
After 5 years at Newbold College Paul entered the ministry in 1983. He was elected to serve in his current position in 2006.
Executive Treasurer
After leaving the banking sector, Rejoice Kampangele became an Auditor for the General Conference, and then Assistant Treasurer for the Trans European Division. In the T.E.D., Rejoice was primarily responsible for the division’s accounting function as well as the division-wide rollout of the new 'Sunplus' Accounting software. After briefly returning to the General Conference Auditing Service, Rejoice accepted the call to embark upon his current role as Executive Treasurer for the North England Conference, where he has served since 2008.
Believing himself to be a facilitator in God’s work, Rejoice’s vision is for the church to move toward the highest standard of accountability and transparency in all its operations.
In his spare time, Rejoice is a keen football fan and believes he will 'never walk alone'.
