Guest Speaker: Ps Peter Prothero

PS PETER PROTHERO

We are excited to have special guest Ps Peter Prothero joining us on Sunday 4 October in both our 9 & 11 Services.

‍

Peter Prothero has been in Christian ministry for more than 40 years, serving as a pastor, teacher, church leader and leadership coach. His passion is to equip leaders and churches to become healthy, fruitful and effective in fulfilling the vision God has given them.

Peter has extensive experience of leading churches through seasons of growth and transition. From 2007 to 2019 he served as Senior Pastor of Equippers Church Surrey, leading the church from a congregation of 35 people to a thriving church of more than 1,000, meeting across multiple locations. In 2019 he handed the leadership of the church to Ps Mark and Monica Collard and joined the Equippers Global Team.

For the following five years Peter travelled extensively throughout Europe, Australasia, the USA and beyond, preaching in churches and conferences, training leaders and helping younger pastors develop their teams, churches and leadership capacity.

Peter has also been involved in Bible college leadership and teaching, combining theological understanding with more than four decades of practical ministry and leadership experience. He is the author of Church Leadership: The Stuff You Usually Learn the Hard Way and The Soft and Hard Sides of Leadership: How to Avoid Being a Wimp or Megalomaniac, with a third book currently in development.

In May 2024, Peter and his wife Jacquie accepted the leadership of Edge Church Bristol. Following the church’s decision to join the Equippers family, it became Equippers Church Bristol in September 2024. Peter is now focused on helping the church build on its strong foundations, develop its people and leadership, and fulfil its vision to win souls, make disciples, transform communities and impact nations.

Affectionately known as P3 — Pastor Peter Prothero, Peter is passionate about seeing people equipped for life and ministry. He is married to Jacquie, and together they have six adult children and five grandchildren.
