On 3 February, Eastney Evangelical Church (EEC), Southsea, Portsmouth welcomed Chris Thomas to the pastorate.
He became a Christian early in his career in the Navy, and Eastney Evangelical, back in 1983, was the first church he ever attended.
Call to the ministry
Chris said he became ‘increasingly aware of a call to gospel ministry’ and retired early from the Navy. He completed a course of ministerial training at London Theological Seminary and became pastor of Bournville Evangelical Church (latterly Oak Tree Church) in Birmingham.
