General Director 

Carl Beech, a Baptist Minister, became a follower of Jesus at the age of 18. Having had a burning ambition to join the armed forces, he distinctly heard God call him to fight a different sort of battle. After studying a degree in engineering he worked variously as a financial consultant, church planter, youth worker, and senior pastor of a large multi-congregational church. He now heads up CVM, a national movement focused on introducing men to Jesus and equipping the church for the task.

A regular conference speaker around the UK, Carl is known for his clear sighted, passionate and direct approach. He is currently involved in pioneering some groundbreaking evangelistic projects involving media and the web. He is the author of Spadework, Groundbreaker and Real men, Real God, Real Spirit and is regularly featured in Sorted Magazine. Carl is a member of the Evangelical Alliance council.

He has been married to Karen for 15 years and has two daughters, a dog, a cat and apparently a hamster! Carl enjoys sporting challenges and has recently cycled from Lands End to John o’ Groats and Calais to Nice. In June he cycled the length of Italy.
