Revd Anthony Barnshaw

Vicar

Anthony is originally from North Manchester. He grew up in a non-Christian family but came to faith in Jesus after joining a church youth group. He is most passionate about the finished work of Jesus on the Cross to die for our sins; Jesus' resurrection from the dead and the hope that gives us of Heaven.

In his spare time he loves to go to the gym, read and watch football, especially Manchester United and Fleetwood Town FC but don't hold that against him!
