As a family, we are devastated to announce that Christchurch's founding Pastor, Rev. Dr. Samuel Grant M.B.E. (Dad), went to be with the Lord this morning.

Dad fought courageously for the last six years or more with Vascular Dementia, and today he is at peace, having passed peacefully during the night.

Dad had a vision to see souls saved at Christchurch and throughout the wider town of Carrickfergus. He served faithfully for more than 48 years, with Mum by his side every step of the way. Dad had a passion and love for his family, Christchurch, the Ex-Service community, Carrickfergus, and its people.

Today, Rev. Dr. Samuel Grant M.B.E. is absent from the body and present with the Lord.

Funeral arrangements will follow in the coming days.

Jonathan
