Jeremy has been involved in leading Newfrontiers churches for over 25 years now. In 2009 Jeremy & Ann moved from the church they had planted in Teesside to lead Christ Central Manchester.
In 2011 when Terry Virgo multiplied Newfrontiers from one apostolic team to multiple teams, Jeremy started to lead ChristCentral. At this time, Jeremy was asked to lead a new apostolic team and so ChristCentral Churches was born. This team now serves over 300 churches in 30 nations and works with other recognised and emerging apostolic leaders. Jeremy & Ann have recently relocated back to Hastings, where they are part of Kings Church, their original home base and sending church. On days off, they enjoy costal walks and pub lunches!
