Exeter & the Cornish coast · South West England

Hello. I'm Steve. I live near the sea with lovely Larissa in the wild and wonderful far South West. We have 4 magical grown-up children and we try to follow Jesus in unhurried ways — and help nurture small simple faith communities across the peninsula. Most of what matters happens around a table and on beaches.

Following Jesus — in Word, Work & Wonder

a little of the story

I've spent thirty-five years starting things — businesses, charities, churches and faith communities — always curious about how good things begin, grow and spread. Along the way there's been loads of new friends, an Ironman, 400 gallons of coffee, an MA in Theology and countless job titles*toilet cleaner, postman, church planter, middle school teacher, assistant pastor, trustee, diocesan youth and children's work advisor, diocesan chaplaincy advisor, congregation leader, life coach, worship leader, speaker, MA lecturer, pioneer mission leader, regional methodist training officer, BA theology tutor, maths/PE teacher, pioneer minister, community organiser, software business owner, crm & automation consultant, ceo, anabaptist pioneering pastor, retreat house lead, toilet cleaner. These days, it all feels a little smaller, slower and simpler — and better for it.
