Marcus was born in Kent but grew up in Warrington, where his parents were involved in leading a Church for 34 years.

Marcus studied French at University before moving to London in 2005 for work. After several years of working in different fields, he was encouraged by a close friend to explore a call into Children & Families Ministry in 2010. He undertook a 2 year internship with St Barnabas, North Finchley, before working part time as the Children’s Pastor for St Peter’s Battersea.

He then worked full time for 6 years as the Children & Families Pastor for St John’s, Hildenborough.

Marcus is passionate about enabling the Church to grow in every member discipleship and outreach as well as equipping parents with tools and understanding to nurture the faith of their children and young people in the home environment.

Marcus is married to Annoushka and they have two young children.

In his spare time, Marcus enjoys being active outdoors, cooking, drumming,  good films and quality Japanese cuisine.
