My involvement with the life of the Methodist Church began when I joined The Boys’ Brigade aged 9 and has continued since then with increasing involvement, leading to me moving to the area in 2019 to begin ordained ministry.

My real passion in ministry is connecting the church with the local community which has led me to ministry both within the Methodist Church and the British Army.

I really believe that the church should be a welcoming and inclusive place where all feel welcome and are able to share in the grace of God which is given to the world through Jesus.

A place where through our words and actions, in the breaking of bread and the sharing of God’s word, people can come to know more about the God who loves us and wants us to love them.
