We married in 1983 and God prompted us to start Trent Vineyard in 1996.

We’ve been serving together in pastoral ministry since 1990. John initially trained and worked for a number of years as a jeweller before studying at London Bible College. Debby lived in Chile until she was 13 and later came to Nottingham to train as a dancer and artist.

We first got involved with the Vineyard movement in 1982 and in 1987 we spent 8 months as interns at Anaheim Vineyard (under John Wimber the leader of the Vineyard Movement in the USA). Following our time at Anaheim we returned to England to help John and Eleanor Mumford start the first UK Vineyard in London. We worked at South West London Vineyard for 9 years before moving back to Nottingham to set up Trent Vineyard.

We have two sons, Zack and Jordan, a dog called Rex and John's Ducati motorbike!

We are so excited about the church that God is building and would love to meet you if you are thinking of joining us. We host Newcomers Meals regularly where we share more of our story and how Trent Vineyard began.
