About Christianity

There are many ways to learn about Jesus Christ and what it means to be a Christian. You could read the Bible, beginning especially with the gospels in the New Testament. You could explore interesting websites such as rejesus. But it is most helpful to make contact with your local church, to experience Christian worship, to meet, talk and question with others. If you get in touch with us wanting to understand more, we promise to help you.

The Rector

The Revd Dr Mark Hart came to Plemstall and Guilden Sutton in 2002. He is married to Karen and they have three children: Grace, Fred and Ruby. He trained for the ministry at Trinity College, Bristol, was ordained at Chester Cathedral in 1998, and served as curate at St Barnabas Bromborough 1998-2002.

Prior to ordination he worked for 11 years in industry, in Huddersfield, Manchester and Rugby. Most of that time was with GEC Alsthom Turbine Generators Ltd where he was responsible for the computational modelling of steam turbine aerodynamics.

In addition to his parish duties he is Rural Dean of Chester, a part-time duty Chaplain at the Countess of Chester Hospital, a theology tutor for the Southern North West Training Partnership, a foundation governor of The Bishops' Bluecoat C of E High School and a member of the Council of Chester Cathedral.

He enjoys walking the family dog, Jessie, whose name is a contraction of Septuagesima, the Sunday when she first came to the Vicarage in 2004 after being rescued from the streets of Wallasey.
