His wife Paula, and now grown up children and his grandchildren are the people he loves being with most, so family occasions, home comings, and holidays are precious times for them to share together.

He came to know Christ in a personal way as a teenager through Scripture Union camps.Ballyholme Parish, Bangor is where he grew up and  he has been involved with the Church Mission Society  for the past 40 years. He previously served in inner city Belfast and in two rural parishes near Enniskillen and became Rector of the Cathedral in February 1999.

Stephen was born and bred in the shadows of the cathedral and is privileged to be serving God as part of the cathedral team. Stephen loves music, of all styles, and especially in worship. He isn’t interested in football in the slightest, and when Stephen isn’t banging a piano or busied by his wife Judith or 3 daughters, he loves to laugh.

His favourite verse is “Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.” ‭‭(Eph ‭4:2)‬

His favourite quote is ‘What day is it?” It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. My favourite day,” said Pooh, and his favourite joke (at the moment) is ‘last night me and my wife watched 3 DVDs back to back – luckily I was the one facing the telly’!
