I went to university as an atheist, but when Jesus called me, I realised that He’s real and alive, and the only reliable Rescuer. In time, He gave me a job as a clinical scientist, then He united me to my wife Elisabeth, and gave us two children. He led me to study at theological college, then to serve as an elder at Longmeadow from 2009. I adore preaching his Word, scrabble, action films and keeping fit.

I first heard and accepted the good news about Jesus on a summer camp aged 11, and I’ve been gradually getting to know God better ever since. I joined Longmeadow in 2017 soon after getting married to Maria, and we now have a young family. I work as a research scientist, and I enjoy exercise, spending time outside, woodwork, and I support the Harlequins rugby team.

I became a Christian at University, where I also met my wife, Janet. Moved to Stevenage for a job in 1967 and have been involved with the Church since then. We have three grown up children, whom we love visiting. I am retired from my job in publishing and am an avid armchair supporter of Crystal Palace Football Club.

I grew up in a Christian family, for which I’’m very grateful as it helped me to get to know Jesus myself from an early age. Life since then has been full of opportunities and challenges to trust him more and experience his love for me. I’’m married to Steph and we have three children, who alternately put up with or participate in my love of watching sport, playing games and searching for a successor to The West Wing.

I became a Christian at university, partly owing to the love and generosity of the folk I encountered at church there. My wife Gemma and I moved to Stevenage and started attending Longmeadow in 2005, and since then God has blessed us with four children.
