Meet the people who lead Christ Church Orchard Park.
Hello, my name is Rob Tearle and it's my job to lead Christ Church Orchard Park as the Minister/Pastor.
I am from Hull originally but I've lived in London and Scarborough as well. It's good to be back in Hull now with my wife Emma and we are looking forward to seeing what God does with Christ Church Orchard Park as we go forward.
We have a really warm hearted church family and we are always happy for people to come and see what we are about or to get in touch with any of those big questions!
Originally from Norfolk, I've lived in Yorkshire since 2001 and on North Hull Estate since 2013.
Married to Carolyn, we have three children. We were delighted to join Christ Church Orchard Park in 2020 and are keen to serve the Lord Jesus here in whatever ways we can.
I try to be interested in everything and everyone, but my main hobbies now are pottering in my shed, eating and sleeping.
I was born in a village just outside Liverpool which is where I lived until the age of 18 when I moved to Hull. I originally thought I would be here for 3 years but many years on, I'm still here!
I married Amy in August 2020 and then moved to Christ Church Orchard Park in September 2020 (it was a busy couple of months!) I have two daughters called Faith and Betsy.
I enjoy watching and playing sports in my spare time as well as spending time with friends and family.
I was born in Minembwe, South Kivu Province, in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where I grew up in a farming family. At the age of 19, I left home and moved to Uvira. Because of war and insecurity, I fled to Rwanda, where I continued my education, before later moving to Burundi, where I got married.
On 20 March 2018, I moved to the United Kingdom and settled in Hull. I first attended St John's Church, then Newland Christ Church, and I am now a member of Christ Church Orchard Park, where I worship today.
I am married and have four children, two daughters and two sons. In my free time, I enjoy learning about history and watching football, and I am a proud Manchester United supporter.
We are always happy for people to come and see what we are about, or to get in touch with any of those big questions.
