Volunteer Coordinator
Steve Smith
Steve joined us at the beginning of July 2009.
Steve was a bank clerk before stumbling into the Anglican ministry whilst at Trinity College. After a curacy in Fulham was surprised to return to Bristol to start a church in the new town of Bradley Stoke in 1985. The church was built in 1990 and Steve went down with M.E. in 1992, which ultimately led to retirement in 2001.
He did various voluntary things after this including St Peter's Hospice; Chaplain at Bristol Cathedral and half a day at CCM. On discovering, 'by accident', the advert for a Volunteer Support Coordinator he applied and the rest as they say is his story.
Steve is married to Liz and has children.
