On the 6th of November 2004 we had the opportunity of ordaining Tristan Simmons as an elder. Tristan became a Christian in 1995 whilst going out with Anna - who is now his wife. Since then he has become a fixture at the Leamington Church and most days he can be located on the balcony organising the slides and visuals for the day's service. For the last two years Tris has been working as youth elder and has been a continuous source of inspiration and encouragement to those around him and will no doubt continue to do so.

Tristan is pictured here with his wife Anna and son Jack and Pastor Rudi Puskas (far right).
