For the year 2009
Our new minister, Rev'd Freddy Takavarasha, says of himself:
"I was born and brought up in Zimbabwe, the youngest of twelve children and received my early learning at mission schools. I graduated in Business Management and had a successful career in retail. Later I offered my life to the service of God and trained at Cliff College where I graduated and came in September 2007 as a probationary minister with responsibility for Calverley, Bolton and Thorp churches. I was fully ordained in July 2009 and look forward to taking charge of Bolton, Calverley and Saltaire. I live with my wife, Dee, son and grandson."
