Board

Jonny is the Chairman of the Board for Munster Bible College. Having studied in Belfast and worked as an assistant Pastor in Dublin, Jonny became pastor of Carrigaline Baptist Church in 2002. Growing up as the son of a pastor he always vowed he would never be one! Well, all that changed when God opened up his spiritually blind eyes to help him see his desperate need of God, in all of life. Jonny is married to Kirsty (a Belfast girl) and has two adult children who enjoy laughing at his bald head and protruding belly!

Joy is from London but has lived here in Co. Cork for almost 30 years. She and Ross have four children and are now enjoying three, soon to be 4, wonderful grandchildren. Admin and finance are Joy’s day by day work and she oversees the accounts for Ross’ company and for the church. After many years dong youth work in Carrigaline she now works as registrar for Munster Bible College and loves this opportunity to listen and study plus the bonus of hosting the professors who come to teach.
