Welcome to this blog community- As Senior Pastor of Kerith Community Church (a multisite church with sites in Bracknell, Farnborough, Windsor and Isle of Wight) I write on topics that resonate with issues of faith and secular culture. As a church we are passionate about issues affecting life in this post-modern, post-pandemic world such as climate change, racial diversity and how our faith can be a lens through which we can impact for good the communities we are a part of.
My wife Catrina and I have three children: Zach, Jacob & Alice. We’ve been part of the church since 1989 and had the privilege I’ve been Senior Pastor since 2007.
