Hello! I'm one of the ministers here at UCF. I have the great privilege of being minister here with my wife. I also take great delight in being the father of three nearly grown up children - Daisy, Molly & Thomas. Before Ferndown we've led churches in London, Southend-on-Sea and on Dartmoor in Devon. Before becoming a Baptist minister I had careers in acute nursing and in youth work. I am passionate about telling people about Jesus who can make all the difference. With my time off I love what others find boring - History, trains & cheese! |

Hi! I’m another of the ministers and I am married to Darren. Yes we work and live together! I’m a Devonian but love living in Dorset and am so happy to be a minister at UCF. I’m an Exeter City FC fan, I enjoy crocheting and love a bit of glitter! |

Biograpy text coming soon... |

I am one of the deacons at UCF. I’m married with two sons and six grandchildren (one girl and five boys). I teach swimming, which I love, am often in the garden trying to get plants to grow and attempt to keep the house clean and tidy (an impossible task for me). I have a book called, ‘People matter more than things’ and if people notice the numerous spider webs in our house, they’ve missed what really matters!

Hi, I’m Natalie and am one of the deacons here at UCF. I have 3 young daughters so am usually very busy being a mum! I’m born and raised in Dorset but love to travel any chance I get. I love seeing different parts of the world and immersing myself in different cultures. I am very blessed to be a member at UCF as everyone is so warm and welcoming.

Hi, I am one of the Deacons on the leadership team at the United Church Ferndown and I am one of the regular worship leaders on the music team playing guitar and bass in our Sunday services. I am married to Pam and we have two 'grown up' kids, both now at Uni. When I am not involved in supporting the Church or setting up for a Sunday...I'll be mistaken for that other guy in U2. |

Hi, my husband (Rick) and I moved to Ferndown from Maidstone in 2012. In 2013, we both became Church members, and I also became the Church Treasurer. I am involved in a number of Church activities - lunch club catering, audio/visual team and annual kids club helper.
I enjoy travelling, walking and I am a member of a local Nordic walking group. This has helped me discover some beautiful countryside in Dorset. What a wonderful world God has created.
