Steve and Marcia McLean have been serving in North Wales since November, 2008. Steve is from the Seattle area, and Marcia is from western Pennsylvania. They met at Bob Jones University and were married in their sending church, located in Greenville, South Carolina. They have four daughters, Margaret, Gwyneth, Amelia, and Beatrice.

The Mcleans served for two and half years with fellow GFA missionaries Joe and Abbie Nicholson at Lighthouse Baptist Church. In mid-2011 they moved five miles away to the town of Rhuddlan in order to lead in a church re-planting effort.

The McLeans are focused on leading Gosen Church in reaching a younger - very unchurched - generation. 

The main areas of ministry for the McLeans include outreach in the local village school, discipleship within the church itself, and forming relationships within the community in order to open doors for the Gospel. In addition to leafleting the village twice yearly with invitations to church and a short gospel message, the church has begun a weekly “mums and tots” group. Parents and carers enjoy a coffee while the children play, and then Steve and Marcia teach a simple Bible lesson, sing songs, and do a basic craft. It is a great opportunity for people who otherwise would not attend a service to get to know them and begin to form friendships.
