DEACON: PETER CARTER

I grew up in Dudley in the West Midlands and some say my accent still betrays me.

I went to Sunday School as a child and then to a local Methodist Church. It meant little to me until my mid teens when I realised I faced a choice of seeking to live as a Christian or letting go of church. I sought to follow Christ as a disciple and on leaving school attended Cliff College, the Methodist Church Bible College for a year where I met a girl who was to become my wife. She came from a place I had never heard of – Dukinfield.

I have worked in the Insurance Industry for over 30 years, mostly as a Loss Adjuster. After a time working in London we moved to Dukinfield in 1986 where we have lived ever since. I have been a deacon of Dukinfield Congregational Church for longer than I can remember and believe firmly in the vital importance of the local church within the community.
