John Stimson (Rector)

John was born and raised in Johannesburg, and began his studies at Bible Institute, Kalk Bay (pre GWC), after completing his national service. After graduating from BI, he took on the youth work at Christ Church Blairgowrie, his spiritual home, under Rev Dr Jack Allen, and completed his curacy at Trinity Church, Weltevreden Park.

During this time he married Frances, a high school teacher whom he met at church, and they embarked on the joy of parenthood with the birth of Kate. Moving to take up his post at CCH (then Trinity Chapel), they both settled quickly and have been serving the same church since 1991. In 1992, they were delighted in the birth of a second daughter, Amy.

John serves on the boards of Grace College and Union Bible Institute, and also assists with regional work in REACH-SA. Francie is one of the founders of Grace College, a local high school which has been running since 1999. She is an accomplished educator, Bible Study leader, singer, wife and mother.
