Brought up in Leyland, Lancashire, Chris trained for the Congregational ministry at Bala Bangor Independent College. He served churches in Lancashire, Essex and London before coming to Bedford in 2005.

Chris says: "I long to see the church grow; I want to see it transformed into one that is equipped to minister to 21st century society, engaged with mission and outreach, communicating to young people, and providing new ways of worship."

In his spare time, Chris enjoys bookbinding and book conservation work. His other interests include gardening, cooking, music, history, and being with friends, and he feels greatly privileged to be serving as minister at Bunyan Meeting.
