Ian gave his life to Jesus at 5 years old with his grandad John, but only took his faith seriously from the age of 16 and has been passionate about sharing the good news ever since. With a background in youth work through a number of Presbyterian Churches and Greater Ballyclare Youth for Christ, Ian is pretty new to CJM, having joined the youth team in May 2025. He loves helping young people explore faith in fresh and relevant ways—whether that’s through talks, fun, games or Bible study.

He holds a degree in Theology from the Belfast School of Theology, is a committed member of Cooke RFC 1XV, and never says ‘no’ to a flat white. Ian is married to Amy, and they have a dog called Stanley. Together, they love opening their home, laughing with friends, and serving Jesus in their home church Ballylinney.
