Back in 2003 I moved from Lisburn to Magheralin. Once Lynn and I had settled into our new surroundings we started looking for a new new church family to be part of. After visiting three or four churches in the area we arrived at Hill Street. The friendly welcome we received and relaxed atmosphere helped us to settle in really quickly.

Outside of church I'm a teacher. I am married with two young children and enjoy (when I get the chance!) to go for long, leisurely walks in Gosford Forest Park. Within church there are a number of different activities which I help out with. I'm a leader in the Boys Brigade and I help facilitate one of our church Fellowship Groups.

Early on during the period when we first arrived at Hill Street, going along to the Church Weekend really helped us to settle in and to make friends. It was a bit daunting signing up considering that myself and Lynn did not know many people at the time but the experience proved to be very enjoyable. It was a great opportunity to get to know other young families within the church.

Going to Hill Street has helped me to grow as a Christian. Listening to Nigel and Andrew teach from the Bible each week helps me to mature in my walk with Jesus. Being with other people keen to do the same, encourages and challenges me to keep going!
