Pastor Andrew Knox
I was born and raised in Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland, where I became a Christian at the age of 24. My wife, Fiona, and I moved over to the UK to train at Bible college and we served the Lord in rural mission, which we enjoyed for over twelve years. In 2005 we moved to Derby with our three children to pastor Davenport Road Evangelical Church.
In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and spending time outdoors, in particular motorbiking and fishing.

I’m a Derbyshire lad through and through. At the age of seven I became a Christian in Pilsley. Soon after, we moved to Matlock – where I have lived for most of my life. I love it there. After being a teacher for a number of years, God moved me on to teach in Kenya with Africa Inland Mission, and then back to the UK to get some training in how to teach the Bible. I am married to Christine. In my spare time, I love to go walking in the hills of Derbyshire, read, travel, watch football, and catch up with friends.

I was brought up in a Christian home I heard and responded to the gospel as a child. I wouldn’t even be able to tell you my age but the Lord knows the very moment of my salvation!
After school I took a pharmacy degree at Nottingham where I met Fiona and we married in 1981. Our first home was in Derby and DPR has been our spiritual home from then until now. I am now retired.
I love to teach the Bible and was greatly helped in this ministry through attending the Northern Cornhill Training Course in Sheffield in 2000.
My interests are mainly sporting, including membership of Derby Golf Club, and gardening – Fiona likes her roses, but I prefer the fruit and veg!!
