Mike and Gwen

Mike Mellor worked for years in the newspaper and music businesses, during which time he spiralled down into the chaotic life of an alcoholic. After conversations with a work colleague he was dramatically converted to Christianity. He then studied at the South Wales Bible College and went on to pastor of churches in South Wales and Central London. After serving as a staff evangelist with the Open Air Mission in Bournemouth, he was invited to join the pastoral team at Moordown in November 2008. He is still married to his wife Gwen and they have four married daughters and seven grandchildren.

Since experiencing the love and power of Jesus to change lives it has been his deepest desire that all who walk this earth should know Him also.

Stuart and Jennifer

 

Stuart was brought up as a devout Catholic and always had an interest in spiritual matters but did not appreciate the need to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.  While studying at Southampton University, he was encouraged to read John’s Gospel and soon realised that he must be ‘born again’ by the Spirit of God.  He put his trust in Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection for forgiveness and everlasting life.  He is keen to see Hope Church become effective in reaching a world that needs to understand the Good News about Jesus.

Stuart works as Medical Physicist at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital and is married to Jennifer, a primary school teacher.  They have two married daughters and three grandchildren.
