My name’s Ben, I’m married to the wonderful Mikka, and we moved to Colchester at the end of August last year to join the church plant here, having studied, lived and been part of City church in Canterbury for the last few years. I grew up near Southend so can claim to be a genuine Essex boy.

I started with a friend creating a Wordpress site...but I found that too confusing to use myself, needed updates and behind the scenes admin...ultimately someone who knows that stuff!

I can point you to who did at a great cost though...).
