Josh Gardiner

Current Role:

Campus Pastor

What I'm passionate about:

Having been born and raised in Leicester, I'm responsible for the day to day pastoring and leading of KingsGate Leicester, aided by a great team of local leaders.

I met my wonderful wife Chrissy whilst we studied Law together at Leicester University. We still live close to the city, with our boy Freddie. We love Leicester and our passion is to help people find community, encounter God's love and live out their God-given purpose in life.

Interesting fact:

In my free time, I enjoy reading, running and golf, and am a keen Manchester United fan.

Hannah Clayton

Current Role:

Leicester Centre Coordinator

What I'm passionate about:

I'm responsible for providing care and oversight for all of the teams in KingsGate Leicester, as well as overseeing the pastoral care of our student and young adult community. Having previously been a secondary school teacher, I joined the KingsGate Leicester team in 2014 and then relocated to the city. I love Leicester and its people, and am excited to see what God will do in the months and years ahead!

Interesting fact:

As well as being an avid reader and enjoying a good history documentary, I love to spend time with my friends and with my niece and nephew.
