Hi, I am Mark, the new Lay Pastor for Belfairs, Wesley and Highlands Methodist churches. 

For the past 23 years I have been a minister in The Salvation Army leading churches in England, including 7 years in Shoeburyness, Belfast and Dublin.

I am originally from Canvey Island and I’m looking forward to moving back to the area where I grew up. I am happily single and I have a pastor’s heart with a desire to show the love of Jesus through the way I live my life.

Outside of work, I love to travel and experience and learn from other cultures. Going on Mission trips to various countries has made me the person I am today and helped to appreciate the most important things in life.
