Stephen Passmore

Pastor

I was born and raised on a farm in the Canterbury, Kent area. During my early years I had no Christian influence in my life, and it wasn't until I was 19 years old that I heard the message of the gospel for the very first time, while visiting family friends in Canada. As I was presented with the claims of Jesus Christ, I recognised that I needed to respond to all that He had done for me. So I knelt in a field in Alberta, and recognizing my sinfulness and need for forgiveness, I trusted in Christ as my Saviour. From that point, and while attending a vibrant church in London, I grew rapidly in my faith, and it was while I was happily employed as a landscape gardener in London, that God called me to full-time pastoral ministry. I graduated from Spurgeon's College in 1990, and I have since served in churches in the UK, Norway and the USA. My passion is for people to know God deeply, as He is revealed in His Word, and for the church to remain true to her calling. 

I am married to Margaret, and we have three adult married children and five grandchildren. In my spare time I like to read, listen to cricket, visit gardens and travel.
