Ormskirk Street Pastors Interview.

Part 3 in the series How faith and religion play a part in the community

The Ormskirk Street Pastors are a group of local Christians from many different local churches.

The Street Pastors are there to help the young local partygoers and students of the community, who, out and about the bars and nightclubs of the town centre on a Friday night, might at some time some need non-judgmental help.

During the interview the Street Pastors explain their motivation to go out on the streets of Ormskirk, late at night, often in the cold and wet, to be of service to the youths in their community.

Help can take the form of a pair of flip flops, a bottle of water, someone who will listen, first aid, directions, or the gentle guidance away from trouble.

Street Pastors aim to live out their Christian faith by serving others in the community.
