I’m Martin, and I began my ministry at St Catherine’s in May 2017. I’m married to Rach, and we have four children, Dorrie, Willow, Noah and Honey — as well as two older daughters and three granddaughters.

I trained for ordination at Ridley Hall in Cambridge and was ordained in June 2013, serving my curacy in the Tas Valley. Prior to ordination, I worked as a Community Evangelist with Church Army in Bedfordshire.

Scripture is central to my faith and ministry. I come from an open evangelical church background, though my theology has become more progressive over time. I have a strong pioneering instinct and am particularly keen to explore what church might look like for a new generation in the Mile Cross area.
