The Revd Canon Paul Frost was ordained in 2009 and has previously served in churches in Northampton and Kettering. He studied theology at the Universities of Sheffield and Oxford, and before ordination, he worked as a Religious Studies teacher, youth worker, and chaplain at Moulton College. For the past 13 years, Paul has been the Rector of St John’s Church in Corby and, since 2020, the Priest in Charge of St James’ Church, Gretton. He also serves as the chaplain to 422 (Corby) Squadron Air Training Corps and the Corby Branch of the Royal British Legion. Additionally, Paul is a governor at Corby Old Village Primary School. Through a series of divine happenstances, Paul helped establish the Chapel Gym in Corby. Now one of the largest charitable gyms in the county, the Chapel Gym is dedicated to making fitness accessible to all, particularly those on the edge of crime, coming out of prison, recovering from addiction, or struggling with mental health issues. In 2022, Paul was made an honorary canon of Peterborough Cathedral in recognition of his significant contributions to the diocese. Having spent over 20 years in the area, Paul has developed a deep affection for Northamptonshire. However, his greatest passion remains spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to the wonderful people of Corby. Paul is married with three children, and in his spare time, he enjoys running and occasionally lifting weights to keep fit.
