Gareth was brought up in North Ayrshire, Scotland, in a Christian home becoming a follower of Jesus at a young age. He has been a member of Townhead Christian Fellowship (TCF), Stevenston, since 2005, being active in children’s ministry, summer youth camps and playing in the praise band.
He worked as a banking advisor, in internet banking, when, in 2017, he was challenged by God on a GLO team, in Aix en Provence in France. He then left his job at the bank and started the course at Tilsley College in 2018 to discover what God was calling him to.
He completed the European Baccalaureate at Tilsley, where he was encouraged to study the Bible, developing his gifts and being involved with different mission teams. His passion for teaching the Bible has grown along with a desire to serve God in Scotland. God’s call has led to him taking on a role at Tilsley as a lecturer and also serving with TCF in his local community.
