Steve and his wife Lyn both became Christians as teenagers. Over the years, they have been part of a church that became part of the Pioneer movement, an independent charismatic evangelical church, and a Baptist church that was part of New Wine. In recent years, they joined a Vineyard church plant before becoming Senior Pastors of Aylesbury Vineyard. They also served as interim Senior Pastors of Sutton Vineyard during a nine-month interregnum. They continue to be involved with Aylesbury Vineyard and also Riverside Church in Whitstable, dividing their time between the two locations.

Steve has a Master of Arts degree in biblical interpretation from The London School of Theology, with Distinction, and a PhD in systematic theology from King’s College London.

Steve and Lyn have a background in churches of different shapes and sizes, ranging from being part of small church plants to leading quite large established churches. Steve is very conscious of the different needs, requirements, and characteristics of different types and sizes of churches.
