Cliff's Testimony

I made my commitment as a small boy by responding at a Billy Graham rally in Wembley Stadium in 1955. Since then, I believe my faith has grown through the passage of time and the various experiences of life; some good, some not so good. I took my first service with the encouragement of my parents at the age of 19. For the past 15 years, my wife and I have belonged to Studley Baptist Church.

Cliff's Qualifications

Following the completion of professional qualifications for my job, I obtained the B U Diploma under the Christian Training Programme in 1990. I completed a University of Wales BA (Hons) in theology at the Birmingham Christian College in 2004. In 1991 I obtained a grade 8 in singing through the Trinity College of Music, (singing can be useful in a church context).

I preach mainly in churches in the South Midlands. I have also preached in various churches during visits to East Africa. 

Cliff's Preaching Emphasis

I believe my role is mainly one of teaching. An inadequacy of basic knowledge about Christianity is evident in some churches today and in an age when people at large demand a greater understanding and involvement with the issues of the day, I think Christians should be encouraged to deepen their knowledge, and in consequence strengthen their faith, by exploring their beliefs more thoroughly.
