Steve is Director of Contextual Learning at Cranmer Hall, appointed summer 2019. He joined Cranmer from a role serving in the Durham North group of churches. Before moving to Durham, Steve was involved in developing the Bujumbura Christian University in Burundi, a new University in his home country.
Steve obtained his Masters in Global Issues in Contemporary Mission, and his undergraduate in Applied Theology, at Redcliffe College, University of Gloucestershire. Previously, Steve trained in telecommunications engineering in Nairobi, Kenya. Steve has worked in Christian development as well as in business consultancy work in East Africa where he experienced first-hand the transformative power of God’s Word within the marketplace.
Steve is married to Christine and they have two children. He is interested in the intersections of ‘seemingly’ competing spaces; sacred vs secular, physical vs spiritual, local vs global, and theory vs practice. He enjoys coffee, spending time with family and friends, and seeing people flourish into their God given full potential in all aspects of life, including in Church, business and communities.
