Andy Paterson

Mission Director

Before taking up his current role, Andy spent 24 years pastoring Kensington Baptist Church; a large inner-city church in an ethnically diverse area of Bristol. Whilst at Kensington, Andy was involved in various church plants, cross-cultural work and local community projects. He was previously President of FIEC from 2001 to 2004 and also served as Chairman of the PfS Board until 2005.

Andy spends half his time working for FIEC and the other half working for Charlotte Chapel.

Andy is married to Kath and has two grown-up children. He’s a life-long Spurs supporter, a frustrated drummer and bassist, loves reading history and crime novels (there’s not much difference to him!) and walking around hills, vales and industrial heartlands.
