Stanley is married to Carol and they currently live in Newtownabbey.

Carol presently works as Administrator at Derryvolgie Hall, the accommodation centre at Queens University for Presbyterian Students.

After finishing Belfast Bible College in the mid 1980’s, Stanley and Carol left these shores to become missionaries in Italy, working in Christian literature ministry and also in church planting. They spent 15 years in missionary service and their only son, Alberto who is now in his 20’s, was adopted by them when they lived in Italy. For 4 years from 2003-2007 Stanley was serving as pastor of the Cornerstone Church in Newtownards.

Stanley is passionate about the life of the local church. He enjoys reading and walking and is a Man Utd supporter (although Trevor did not know that until after he was appointed!!!)

So he brings extensive church and missionary experience to his new position with us and we are excited to have him here.
