Martin Charlesworth is a versatile leader, author and advocate with a career spanning education, commerce and Chrisitan ministry. He holds degrees in both History and Theology, providing a rich academic foundation for his diverse professional and personal contributions.
For over 20 years he was senior pastor of Barnabas Community Church in Shrewsbury and for 15 years was training director for ChristCentral. He has now stepped back from both of these roles to focus on other projects but he is still heavily involved in teaching for ChristCentral and is still part of the leadership team at Barnabas.
Martin also founded Jubilee+ a national UK charity seeking to equip UK churches to change the lives of those in poverty in their communities.
Beyond his leadership and training roles Martin is also an accomplished writer and a long-standing free speech campaigner. His work in this area reflects a deep commitment to civil liberties and the importance of maintaining open and honest public discourse.
