Leadership & Teaching

Dr. Nathan Paylor
Director and Founder of TTS

​TTS is led by Dr. Nathan Paylor, who lives in Chester and serves at Matthew Henry Evangelical Church with his wife Jo. Dr. Paylor possesses a 1st Class Hons degree in Theology, as well as an MA in Christian Theology from Durham University. He earned his doctorate in 2014, covering the Reformation specifically and questions of systematic theology more broadly. In addition to his academic career, Dr. Paylor preaches regularly and is on leadership at Matthew Henry Evangelical Church

Leadership Between 2016-2020

Fiona Graham
Teacher

For many years, ​Nathan was assisted by Fiona Graham, an accomplished Bible teacher. Fiona has been leading a weekly, expository Bible study for ladies from across the Churches in Chester and environs. Her heart is to demonstrate that the consistent, faithful exposition of the Word leads to godliness and transformed lives.

Oversight & Planning Between 2016-2020

TTS wouldn't have been possible without the support of a great many people and bodies. We enjoyed the warm hospitality of Gill Brown for some sessions, and a core team provided counsel at every step. This includes Dr. Paylor's wife, Jo, as well as Tom & Jenny McGrath, Theo Thomas, and Emma Beddoes. This is in addition to the many wonderful people who made TTS possible by attending the trial run of Foundations faithfully, week on week, contributing to the discussions, and making suggestions.

Moreover, we're grateful for the historical oversight of three Chester Churches: Matthew Henry Evangelical Church in Blacon; Freedom Church based in the centre of Chester, and City Church based in Vicar's Cross. The leadership of all three congregations very kindly gave TTS their support and wisdom.
