About Christianity

Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end of Christianity. To Christians he is the beginning and the end of everything. There are many ways to learn about him. 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.

We believe that God is known as Father through faith in Jesus Christ in the strength of the Holy Spirit. To get to know another human being means spending time together. We should expect this to be even more true with God, for the knowledge of God is inexhaustible, in this life or the next. Living the Christian life is about constantly receiving God's life through Christ as a gift and thereby developing spiritually. One of the letters in the New Testament ends like this: "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever! Amen." 2 Peter 3:18

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 a part-time duty Chaplain at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

He is chief walker of the family dog, Jessie (above), whose name is a contraction of Septuagesima, the Sunday when she first came to the Vicarage in 2004 after being rescued from abandonment on the streets of Wallasey.
