Pendle Community Church is very fortunate to have both a Pastor and his wife from Connecticut, USA. They arrived with their three children in December 1991. Paul had been a member of the pastoral team at a Church in Waterbury, Connecticut for the previous five years. He is currently ordained by the Assemblies of God in Great Britain and Ireland. Paul preaches relevant and practical sermons based on clear Biblical principles, he has a strong pastoral and counselling ministry for the Church members and the community. He regularly visits Eastern Europe where he ministers to both Churches and Church Leaders. Pastor Paul’s educational background includes a BA in History, Masters in Theological Studies, (Pastoral Counselling) and he is also a member of the Association of Christian Counsellors. Paul’s wife Barbara is an active member of all aspects of Church life and is currently the leader of our Royal Rangers youth group.
