John Pretlove

Fiona Pretlove Foster, daughter of former pastor, John Pretlove has been in touch. She pointed out one or two factual errors here that I have endeavoured to correct. She tells us that her dad taught at Criswell College, Dallas, Texas for over 25 years. Her mom passed away in 1996 and her dad has remarried. His second wife's name is Catherine, "who was also a member of his then congregation - a pattern!" comments Fiona. She says that Dr Pretlove is now pastor of a church in Las Vegas, Nevada (First Baptist Church of the Lakes) but comes to England about twice a year as he is on the board of Chosen People Ministries. He has another daughter (Heather) who, like Fiona, was born while at Child's Hill. He also has a son David (born in the USA) who is himself a pastor, in Reno, Nevada. Fiona also adds that John now has five grandchildren. "I still remember living in the manse" she says.

NB The trips back to the UK are now less frequent I think. A sermon from 2018 can be found here
