Graham Thomson is a pastor of Spen Valley Church in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, England. He describes his call to and training for ministry: “I did two years at Hope Church Huddersfield as a Ministry Apprentice, whilst studying on the Christian Ministry Training Course as well, and over that time we were continually seeking the Lord as to what he was calling us to. Towards the end of the second year we were convinced that the Lord was calling me to pastoral ministry. The Elders of the church agreed, and the church confirmed that by calling me to be the Assistant Pastor at Hope. I was Assistant Pastor there for four years from 2013-2017, before planting Spen Valley Church in September 2017.” Graham states that the church is “seeking to be a church that makes disciple-making disciples.” He has been in ministry since 2011, and he has partnered with HeartCry since 2023. He and his wife, Dawn, have been married since 2004.
