Elaine Willmore


Elaine Willmore, who worships at Beacon Lough Baptist Church in Gateshead, is a cancer research scientist at Newcastle University, and her work has focused on developing new therapies for leukaemia. ‘This is a very rewarding job,’ she says, ‘but there are always new challenges as we try to improve treatments for cancer patients.’ She became a Christian as a teenager during Billingham Baptist Church’s ‘Come alive 75’ outreach events.
After moving from Billingham (via University in Manchester) she settled in Gateshead, where she lives with husband John and children Hannah and Joel. They have found ‘a wonderful warm family’ at Beacon Lough, founded in prayer and worship, and reach into the local community with various regular events.  Elaine is also passionate about Fairtrade (she has been a volunteer for Traidcraft for 17 years), loves music (she plays piano, cello and violin) and likes ‘to try to sing’, most recently at Prom Praise North East.
