I am married to Carolyn (pictured with me) and we are very much a team, working in leadership together. We have two married daughters and four gorgeous grandchildren! We both have a passion for the great commission of Jesus in Matthew 28:20, and seek to share the love of Jesus as well as to help people to grow in their faith wherever they are on their Christian journey.
In his spare time Mark enjoys running, cycling and is a transport enthusiast, especially railways and aviation. He also has a bus drivers’ licence. Together with Carolyn they enjoy taking time out walking and relaxing with family and friends over a good meal!
If you have any questions or want to know more about the Jesus and the amazing church here, do get in touch.

A Warm Welcome
Worship
Worship is never dull here. With a team of local preachers as well as our minister to lead services there is variety in style and content. We all enjoy a good sing of mostly traditional hymns but we are ready to try more modern ones. Services are held on Sunday mornings at 10.30am followed by fellowship over coffee and biscuits.
Bible Study: An informal bible study takes place on Thursdays between 10 and 11.30am at the church, and is open to all regardless of church loyalty.
