In 2005 Dave & Shelley Shore founded Global Church – they had a desire to challenge the idea that church is irrelevant and boring. They wanted to create churches that they would want to come to. And so Global was born, a church that is full of energy, made up of everyday people who have found that church has become a crucial part of their life. A church that is known for its freedom, happiness and generosity!

Dave has been involved in leadership for over 30 years and has a Masters in Evangelism. He has expertise in many areas including as a property developer and business investor. He also founded an orphanage and school in Tanzania.

Shelley is a senior midwife and has been at York Hospital for over 30 years. They are both excellent communicators and having been married 34 years, have raised three adult sons who are all involved in ministry in London.
