Pastor
Rev. Carl Morehouse
Carl was born in 1968 and spent his early childhood in Yorkshire before moving to Devon. He grew up in the Salvation Army and after leaving school at 16 joined the Royal Marines as a bandsman. He married Sarah in 1989 and they have two grown up sons and two grandchildren. Carl committed his life to Christ in his late teens and was later baptised.
It was while serving in the Royal Marines Band that Carl first felt the call to full time ministry after the bombing of his barracks by the IRA in Deal, Kent, in 1989. He eventually began training for ministry based at West Free Church for four years. He was ordained in May 2004, shortly after graduating with a first class honours degree in theology from Spurgeon’s College, London, and then went on to be the Lead Pastor of King’s Church, Mildenhall, for 21 years, before returning to the Free Church to take up the role of Pastor in January 2026.
Carl enjoys spending time with his family, reading, music, British history, walking his dog, eating and enjoying a good movie.
