Peter is one of our deacons who serves on the Spiritual Oversight team. He was born and bred in Wolverhampton, the son of Indian immigrants who came to the UK back in the 1950s. He retired from a 34-year long teaching career in 2019 and is married to Lisa; they have two grown up children. Josh is an associate pastor at a church in Bedford and Ellie is a full time sportswoman (netball, for those who are interested!).
Peter’s heart is very much pastorally orientated, which is reflected in both his volunteering role at Bedford Hospital, where he sits with 'end of life’ patients, and serving in the kitchen at our Friday Night Meal ministry.
Alongside this, his hobbies involve coaching hockey, sports photography and walking. In the summer, Peter's biggest passion is his BBQ where he enjoys experimenting with different flavours. This allows him to bring people together, building relationships and community over good food and good company.
