After a career in Sales Management, Gareth entered full-time ministry in 1999. During 12 years in Manchester, he was involved in church planting and served in developmental roles with The Message Trust.

Although Gareth serves as Senior Pastor of Ridgeway, much of his time is inevitably spent at Wallingford. Additionally he is privileged to lead the Kinetic Network team, a relational network of leaders and churches.

Gareth and his wonderful wife Tracey, have two relatively grown-up children, Sam and Sian. Rightly or wrongly, he will be a Manchester City fan until his dying day. You can contact Gareth via email – Gareth@ridgeway-church.org.uk
