Originally from Northern Ireland, Richard’s faith came alive as a student in Oxford, through a sermon series on Hebrews. And thanks to a church worker who had the guts to ask, “You know a lot about Jesus, and about what he has done for us, but have you actually placed your trust in Jesus for yourself?” Thanks Tony!

He has worshipped at Elmdon Church since 2000 and has been a member of our preaching team since 2005; he also coordinates IT at church. He works for IT Services at the University of Birmingham and is married with two children.
