Andrew, the oldest of 3 children, has attended from his very earliest years – born into a Christian and Church family. He first professed faith in 1983, and has witnessed the blessings of the Lord in the life of the church as it passed through both times of trouble and of joy, and God’s sustaining power. In 2006, he married his darling wife Lorraine, and they were gifted a daughter Chloe, five years later. He was blessed with wonderful parents, and profoundly misses his father and confidante who served as an Elder until his death in December 2016. He has served as a deacon and now as an elder. His desire is to serve His Lord and His people humbly and to the best of his ability. An avid sports fan, he has long ago hung up his boots (football and rugby), his rackets (tennis) and shoulder pads (American Football) but has dreams of making a comeback!
