Craig and Lauren

Craig and Lauren met in 2014, and started attending regular services at St Martin’s in 2017, they share about their journey of faith together.

We got married in our beautiful church in 2018. Our faith journey began together, and we have supported each other through thick and thin, we are always bouncing ideas off each other, and are proud to be doing this venture into Community Ministry together. We have a 5-year-old daughter who has been on our stepping up journey with us, exploring her faith and joining in on about half of our meetings! 

We have had some wonderful ups and some hard downs, but we have always battled through with each other and with the help and support of our church family at St Martins and the larger family in the Deanery and Diocese. We have had some setbacks on some of the projects we wanted to run and some we have had to sadly give up for the time being, we have also had some hard time in our personal lives with the loss of 5 family members. But with God by our side and both blood and church family, we have got through those hard times, and we have learnt a lot too on what our strengths are and what we need help with. 

The sharing of faith and praying with each other and our daughter is the most beautiful thing which we have received and supporting each other and watching each other grow is something we treasure and hope to continue.
