Feedback from the Bishop of Jarrow...

“I recently had the opportunity to be on patrol with the Stockton Town Pastors on a Saturday night and I want to affirm the very real contribution that they are making to community safety in the town centre of Stockton on a Friday and Saturday evening. I was particularly impressed with the rapport that they have established with all of those engaged in the night-time environment especially the members of the public. It was good to hear too how the Town Pastors can sometimes link in with other Christian projects locally to make a real difference to the lives of those in all sorts of needs. STP has brought together and trained volunteers from over 17 churches who offer their Christian Faith in such practical ways – my heartfelt thanks to all of them! I very much hope that local churches will be able to find a way to support this imaginative piece of work.”
