Church-goers and community figures attended the induction of a church minister this weekend.

Reverend Dr Hillary Nyika was inducted into the Borehamwood Baptist Church, in Furzehill Road, during the weekend.

Formerly of the Enfield Baptists Church, Mr Nyika became the interim minister in Borehamwood around a year ago and is now ready to take on the role full time.

Rev Geoff Colmer, the regional minister for Hertfordshire, led the service, with Hertsmere Mayor Carey Keats giving a speech to welcome Mr Nyika into the full time position.
