A bit of our history so far.......

After beginning in 1996  Andy Bell was appointed in September 1997as a full time lay-worker. Andy took over the leadership from Rev Graham Horsley although Graham still retained overall responsibility. The arrival of Andy and Sally (Andy's wife), was another answer to prayer especially with Sally's musical expertise and ability to lead the praise group.

In September 2000 Graham Horsley moved on and was replaced at South Chadderton by Rev Peter Shepherd who has continued to have an oversight of the work until September 2007.

In September Rev Darren Holland took over as minister at both North and South Chadderton. He preaches at North Chadderton at least once a month.

Darren and his wife Ros have two children. Grace (pictured above) and Seth

Before coming to Chadderton, Darren, who is from Little Lever, Bolton,  was a minister in Torquay, prior to that he worked as a lay-worker in the church in the Bristol area.

He supports of Bolton Wanderers Football Club!
