With sadness we announce that our much loved Pastor Frank passed away on Tuesday 9th April 2024. Pam, Robert & Tara, Miles and Tia, Ken & Diana, Rebekah & Kevin, Luke and Michael and the wider family would like to thank you for all your love, support, kind words and prayers at this sad time. We thank God for Frank’s wonderful life of service to his Lord, his love for his family and his ministry to us all at PCF.  We also thank God that Frank is now in perfect peace and joy with his Saviour in Heaven.  How wonderful that we can look forward with anticipation to seeing him again on that great day if we place our faith in Jesus as Frank did.
