Richard Baxter

Richard has served as Pastor for Outreach at Carey Baptist Church, Reading, since January 2018. He loves to point others to Christ, and encourage and equip believers to do this - and is amazed that a church pays him to do so!

Richard grew up in Epsom, Surrey, and in pre-Google days had no idea that he had a more famous namesake. After growing up believing in God and going to church, he first trusted Christ during his first year at university in Aberystwyth. A few years later, Richard met Dorcas in that same wonderful seaside town.

Richard and Dorcas love finding out new facts about dinosaurs, Lego, and unicorns from their three young children.

He knows very little about football, despite growing up only 220 miles from Old Trafford.
