Chris and Kerry Cole are a Christian couple from the South West of England. Together they embody a grace-filled family story, exemplifying honesty when things get messy, always pointing to the Father’s heart and the importance of learning to “die to live” so others can find hope.
In the early 1980s, following a powerful conversion to follow Jesus, Chris received a prophetic word that he was called to reach people for Christ through the media. This call to media has been Chris and Kerry’s life’s work and God has used them to help pioneer Christian media in the UK. They are the founders of Cross Rhythms and Cornerstone Vision and have worked in many other media and creative forms.
Chris has been involved in the work of GOD TV for many years and today serves as a trustee for the ministry as well as for the Christian Broadcasting Council of the United Kingdom (CBC). Throughout his working life Chris has believed passionately in collaboration between business and ministry wherever it can add mutual Kingdom benefit. This has taken many forms and today is expressed through Alive In The Spirit (AITS).
AITS is a UK charity that supports Christian media ministries to spread the Good News of Jesus across the world. Founded in 1978, it partners with organisations like Cross Rhythms; X Rhythms; GOD TV; CBC; Radio Hayah in Bethlehem; Lifelines; and other Gospel outreaches to help them grow in their mission and increase their sustainability.
Kerry is a gifted creative and has authored 3 books. The Purple Veil and Exit Darcus express through poetry, art and fiction her personal faith in Jesus and His power to change lives. More recently she has penned an autobiographical account of their lives entitled Gotta Die To Live. Kerry is also an artist and the visionary behind The Tiny Boat Studio, which makes a range of beautiful greeting cards.
Together Chris and Kerry pastor Cornerstone Fellowship, a local church in Plymouth alligned to Church of the Nations. They are available for speaking engagements via Zoom. To book them to speak, email hello@chrisandkerrycole.com.
