Who's speaking?

Jonny Lewis

Originally from Yorkshire but now settled in Cornwall, Jonny is passionate about bringing the Bible to life, helping lives to be changed by God’s amazing word! His particular specialism is speaking in all-age contexts. Jonny's desire is to develop partnerships with local churches as we join together to further God’s kingdom, helping more people hear the good news and deepen their understanding of Scripture. Jonny has a variety of interests including sport, music, the outdoors and good coffee, and he's always keen to bring his joy of life into his church engagements!
