Dan & Sarah Cook

Dan is vicar of Grace Church, a recent church plant part of the Antioch Network, in the Greater Manchester area. He is married to Sarah and their sons are Micah, Ezra, and Zachary.

At Grace Church, Dan & Sarah are sharing the gospel and raising up local leaders on Brooklands estate, an area of high social need. Their church is growing and now 40-50 people meet together on a Sunday. They love where they live and want to see the people there released from poverty, addiction, abusive relationships, and hopelessness, instead finding hope and fullness of life in Jesus.

    • For the Spirit of God to move in power through their church and community, opening the eyes of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4).

    • For them to plant their first church on the other side of Wythenshawe by 2026.

    • For them to live and lead Grace Church not by might or by power, but by God’s Spirit (Zechariah 4:6).
