The foundation of all the work in this Church is grounded in the belief that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour and that all people need to come to a personal faith in Him and experience the reality of His presence in their lives. Outreach is our priority.

Although born in Surrey, at the age of two our family moved to North Staffordshire where my father took up the appointment as an Anglican Rector, a role, that he had until retirement, thirty years later; I trained to be a teacher at St Luke's College, Exeter, where I helped to lead a flourishing Christian Union. My first Job was at a North Devon boarding school for boys with emotional and behavioural problems. I spent twenty years there as a full time teacher with responsibility for several sports. Having felt God's call to offer myself, initially as a Local Preacher and subsequently for ministerial training with the Methodist Church, I had my first appointment in 1997 as the assistant minister in the Saltash Circuit. Following a ten year stay there, I joined the Callington & Gunnislake Circuit as Superintendent Minister, with pastoral responsibility for four congregations.
