Tracy's Story

My name is Tracy and I’m from Middlesbrough, where I work in a local shop. I am engaged and it was my partner, who went to church regularly, who first invited me to a church service when we met in 2016. I felt so much love and peace wash over me when I went to church that I continued to attend worship. I can only describe it as a hunger to know God and learn more.

I was confirmed in 2017 and my faith keeps growing. I started to serve as a welcomer at church, I especially I wanted new people to feel welcome. I also got involved in Open the Book, bringing bible stories alive in schools, and more recently, I started to help with Godly Play on Sundays.

When I heard about Mustard Seed and prayed on it, I knew it was right for me to grow in my spiritual life and learn more. I am a shy person, but faith has given me strength and hope in all my challenging times. My faith has been a comfort in my grief, and given me hope through health worries.

I want to share my faith with others and give them the gift that I received when I first came to church, a sense of peace, hope and a church family.
