Rachel Matthews is Premier Christian Radio’s Central
England correspondent and loves meeting people from
across the area with a shared love for God and having the
opportunity to share their stories.
Rachel’s background includes researching and producing
programmes for BBC Radio 4, working for the national
Fresh Expressions team and pioneering children and family’s
ministry within the Methodist church – whilst at the same
time bringing up two children with her husband Simon!
Working for Premier feels both a privilege and a blessing for Rachel, as God has crafted
all of these experiences together and allowed her the space to share more of what He
is doing in the West Midlands with a wider audience.
Rachel said: “I’m blessed and honoured to share stories of where God is at work in the
Midlands and hear testimonies from those whose lives have been touched by Jesus’s
love. I love talking to people, so to be given this job feels like a gift from heaven as I
learn more and more daily, about God’s enduring love for us and the transformative
power of the cross. God blows me away on a daily basis!”
Premier’s mission is to enable people to put their faith at the heart of daily life and to
bring Christ to their communities.
“I hope by sharing stories from across our area I’m encouraging people in their own
journey whilst also inspiring others,” Rachel continued.

seek to bring God into daily life through different modes of communication.
