Peter Cunningham

leadership team

Pastor Pete, as he is known, was born and grew up in London. Born again at 21 after riotous teenaged living, his early working life was spent in the Share Market.

Later, in the ministry, he pastored several churches before taking on a small congregation in Southport in 1993. The church has grown considerably since then, and is now known as Shoreline Church.

Pastor Pete has always had a heart for the broken and homeless, feeding them and providing shelter anywhere possible, even in a caravan on the church car park.
