Miriam Dixon
Founder / LT
Hi, I'm Miriam and I am the youth leader @ St Stephen's Church, Bentilee. I have been a teacher for over 20 years and my ministry has been mainly working with children and young people. Every Sunday I provide a youth group at St Stephen's, providing engaging lessons for the youth to learn about our amazing God and connect with him. I am also on the Leadership Team and run our weekly BTM Youth group. Another passion of mine is worship. I am worship leader and I play the keyboard in the worship band. I love God, love serving him and love seeing people's lives transformed in my profession and ministry.
