David Sims started his church career at All Saints - and now has a social following of thousands! Meet him here:
A vicar has turned to TikTok to reach a younger congregation - running virtual services and answering some of the "big questions of life".
"That 15-30s is kind of a missing gap and that's in lots of churches, but lots of them are on TikTok," he said. "Some also have children with additional needs and sometimes church can be hard work when you've got kids with additional needs," he added, drawing on his own experience. "I already did a bit of leading and preaching in church, and so that was something I felt led to look at."
"Selfishly, that means my views go up because they're talking to me more," Mr Sims said with a smile.that fewer than half of people in England and Wales describe themselves as Christian - the first time it has dipped below 50%. While some people prefer to listen to Bible passages from the comfort of bed rather than a hard wooden pew, being able to be with people in church was something that was sorely missed during Covid-19 lockdowns.
