Christine Kelly, East UK

Chris Kelly
Christine was brought up in a Christian familu, attending Sunday School at her local Baptist Church from 6 years’ old until 15 when she became a Sunday School Teacher at the Methodist Church. This gave her good grounding as she went on to set up a Youth Club when she was 18 with another member of the Church. Christine loves working with young people and volunteered with young offenders. After marrying she moved areas and worked for the NHS in Hospital and General Practice  before moving back to her home town with her young son Ben.  

Christine has a BA (Hons) Degree in Social Policy and Administration, and now works in the Kent & Canterbury Hospital as a Supervisor Medical Secretary. Christine is a member of the Church of England and after working with the Youth Sunday School as a Youth Leader she is now a Street Pastor, Cell Group Leader and Leader of the Kent North Christian Friendship Fellowship Group for Single Christians.

Careena Gordon 

Careena has been working and leading singles for Embrace Singles Ministry of Warehouse Church, Newport, South Wales

I have served in most, if not all areas of the church but serving singles is where I find my purpose. I aim to show singles that there is more to life than waiting for their future spouse. I love to encourage singles to recognize their value in Christ whilst enjoying every “single” moment!
