David and Jane Gibbs

Having been taken to church as a child, by the time he left college David had decided that Christianity was for those needing a crutch and that science was the way forward. But reading one of the accounts of Jesus’ life in the Bible convinced David that Jesus really was God in human form and he has been following him ever since.

David is married to Jane and they have four children: Katherine, Anastasia, Ruth and Joshua. They have lived in and around London for the last 15 years.  David is an Associate Mission Partner.

Prior to leading Grace Church Wanstead, David was a curate at Christ Church, Leyton.

The vision of Grace Church is to glorify God by being a Bible centred, welcoming church family seeking to reach out with the gospel of Jesus in the Wanstead area. Wanstead is in East London. Although relatively affluent financially it is a spiritually needy area of 25,000 people, where less than 1% go to Bible centred churches in the area.
