I am an ordained Elim Minister, who has pastored and served in various churches, big and small, city, town and rural, and has seen many ways of 'doing church.'
My unique mix of skills is being both approachable and geeky, I am as at home fixing a computer as I am on stage preaching to a crowd. I love spontaneity and fun, and structures and efficiency!
I currently work in Elim Head Office as Elim Ministry Application Lead, managing the process of anyone applying to become an Elim Minister.
I am also Elim Evangelism Lead for Evangelism Culture, encouraging Elim churches in their evangelism and offering practical support, such as guides and resources for running outreach events, and building a healthy church culture.
I also run a small business helping churches with their IT and infrastructure needs: www.holisticsystems.org
Originally from Birmingham, I now live in the Forest of Dean with my wife and three young children. They teach me as much about grace and joy as any sermon!
I love to teach and preach, to travel, to cook and to make people feel included - and most of all I love Jesus!
I am currently trying to write my first book, so please pray I find time!
