About us
About us
Wycliffe Memorial Evangelical Church was founded in 1912. The original ethos of the church was that the main emphasis should be on sound Bible teaching; this is still maintained today by Pastor David Solt.
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ.” – 1 Cor. 3 v 11

Downstairs, we have a large Church Hall with adjoining large kitchen and meeting rooms which are used by the Junior Church, the Wednesday night Bible Study and also for any of our regular social occasions.
We also have our own baptism pool which has been a great addition to our Church. For further information regarding our baptism please contact us.

Meet our Pastor
Pastor David Solt grew up in Arizona, USA. In 1984, while on assignment for the United States Air Force in Southeast England, David Solt trusted Christ as his personal Savior.
Years later, after attending Bible Seminary near Chicago and meeting his wife, Mary Beth, he received the call that God wanted them in Britain. Their ministry began in London in November 1996, and for 12 years, Pastor David led the Park View Baptist Church in Southall/Hayes. Eventually, the Chelsea Community Baptist Church was organized.
In 2008, the Solts were involved in helping Victory Baptist Church in Blackpool, which was struggling at the time. In 2010, they came to Preston and founded the Faith Baptist Church, which met in a community hall in Cottam for over two years. Shortly thereafter, they met the people of the Wycliffe Memorial Evangelical Church. In 2013, Faith Baptist Church and Wycliffe Memorial Evangelical Church merged.
Pastor David and Mary Beth have been happily married for over 30 years. They have three sons, Daniel, Joshua, and Jeremy. All three sons have graduated from Bible Seminary in Chicago. Daniel and his family serve at Wycliffe, Joshua is serving at a church in Iowa, and Jeremy is a music director at a church in Massachusetts.
