Hello my name is Nigel and I am a curate in the Keynsham Team ministry, between Bristol and Bath, and am here with my wife Emily and our one-year-old Isaac. Vocations is a journey that has its ups and downs, I started looking not long after I cam to faith at 18 and if it had not been for a one or two key voice in my life telling me to keep pushing doors I might have stopped when I had people telling me I was too young and shouldn’t I get a ‘proper job’ first. I spent 10 years in discernment and through it learnt that God uses everything we go through to build us into who we are today and that is where my passion lies in helping people to see what God is calling them to do and walking forward in it.
My church style is wide having come to faith in the charismatic tradition and leading sung worship there, but finding God most in the liturgy and rhythm of a said communion service, a closet Franciscan although becoming a lot more open about it now and in love with Taizé and their community so no matter where you are coming from I’m sure we share some common ground.
Outside the church sphere, my passions are in sports – mainly cricket, rugby and football (AFC Bournemouth will one day win the Prem) – a love of modern board games (especially Eurogame style games), music (playing guitar and self-teaching piano very slowly), and most things Star Wars.
I am available for monthly meetings in person of video calls so do not let travel be a hinderance.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
