Paul is the Full-time Teaching Elder and devotes most of his time to teaching the Bible to the church family at Parr Street.

He is married to Jane and they have two adult sons, Peter and Stephen. Paul trained for the ministry at Ridley Hall in Cambridge. After serving as an Assistant Minister in Kendal he looked after two south Cumbrian Anglican churches for 11 years before returning to Kendal to take up his role at Parr Street in 2012. He grew up in the South Lakeland Town of Ulverston and started to follow Jesus as a teenager.

To relax, he loves watching (and occasionally playing!) football and eating hot curries.
