Peter joined Carrickfergus Baptist Church in 2013 when he became our Pastor. He brought his wife Joanne and three daughters, Josie, Ruby, and Mollie, all of whom ensure he knows more than he ever thought he would about teapots, eyeliner, and unicorns! Peter trained as a teacher at Stranmillis College, where he met Joanne. Following a stint as a teacher, he joined Baptist Youth, running the Amazing Journey programme, which has had a great impact on children in schools across…

Associate Pastor Paul is our newest addition, having joined CBC in the summer of 2016, along with his wife Emma and their son Patrick.

He is an…
