Catherine Tate
Associate Minister
We moved to Skipton in 2009 and have been coming to SBC ever since! I joined the staff team as a Minister in Training in 2019 and completed my training as an Accredited Baptist Minister, and took up the position of part-time Associate Minister in 2022.
I am passionate about discipleship and encouraging others on their journey of faith. Taking regular time out alone with God away on retreat is also really important to me. I also really enjoy preaching.
I am married to Edwin and we have two teenage daughters, Rebecca and Sophie, and a little dog called Tyke. I also still work part-time as a freelance editor. In my spare time I enjoy walking and cycling in the beautiful countryside which surrounds us here in Skipton — though I do get off and walk my bike up any very steep roads!
