Know Surrender
Ian serves as the unpaid pastor and a trustee of Bootle Protestant Free Church, guiding the fellowship with a blend of biblical conviction, historical awareness, and gentle pastoral care. After a lifetime of professional work, he now devotes his time to preaching, teaching, and helping the church think faithfully about Scripture in a changing world.
His ministry is shaped by a commitment to clear, accessible exposition of the Bible, a love for church history, and a desire to help believers understand the depth and beauty of the Christian faith. Know Surrender extends that ministry beyond Sunday, offering reflective conversations that help listeners engage more deeply with the themes raised in the weekly sermon.
Ian’s approach is steady, thoughtful, and rooted in the conviction that true life is found in knowing surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ.
