Pastor Andrew L. Berry
I am married to Marcia and together we have two teenagers. I was born and grew up in England but have spent 15 years being a Pastor in the States.
Our passion is to see a vibrant church in which Jesus is the centre of all that we do and say. We count it a privalege to be ministering in France in the midst of a multicultural situation. May I extend a personal invitation to consider becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. My ongoing experience has been to find Him a worthy Saviour and Lord.
