Ardmore Parish welcomes Revd Andrew Baldock
Warmest congratulations to Revd Andrew Baldock who has been welcomed as Minister in charge of Ardmore Parish in Dromore Diocese.
Bishop David introduced Andrew and also gave the address while Area Dean, Revd Paul McAdam, led the service on 7 December. It was also something of a return visit for Archdeacon Mark Harvey whose late father Maurice was rector of the parish from 1979–87.
Andrew, who is married to Gilly, studied theology at Northumbria Bible College and Durham University. He was ordained in the Church of England in 2000 and subsequently served in parishes in the North of England, Oxfordshire, and South Ayrshire.
He has a particular passion for exegetical preaching and teaching and has also served in independent evangelical churches, most recently in Scotland and Northamptonshire.
Speaking of his appointment Andrew said:
‘I am grateful to Bishop David for appointing me to Ardmore and for the warm welcome that Gilly and I have received from the church. I’m very much looking forward to serving the people of Ardmore in the coming years ahead, trusting that we will bring Glory to God as we seek to faithfully live out our lives together for Him and Him alone.’
