About Waymarker

A waymarker does not give you the whole map or reveal everything that lies ahead. It offers reassurance that you are still on the path, a sense of direction and an indication of the next step.

Waymarker aims to do something similar: creating space to pause, find companionship and explore the way of Jesus, wherever you may be on life’s journey.

You do not need to call yourself religious, know exactly what you believe or pretend to have everything worked out. There are no easy answers or expectations—just opportunities to meet others, ask honest questions and begin finding a way forward.

At its heart is a simple conviction: Jesus offers a way through life worth exploring—and some roads are harder to walk alone.

Waymarker brings people together through practical workshops, walks and shared activities; personal and affordable ceremonies; connections with welcoming local churches; and informal chaplaincy.

Faith for those still finding their way

Christianity begins with Jesus—not simply with a set of beliefs, but with an invitation to follow him and discover a different way of living.

One of the Bible’s most moving stories takes place on the road to Emmaus. Two people are walking away from Jerusalem, grieving and disappointed after the death of Jesus. A stranger joins them. He does not rush them, correct them or offer easy answers. He walks beside them, listens to their story and helps them understand their experience differently. Only later, as they share a meal, do they recognise that the stranger is Jesus—alive and present with them. (Luke 24.13–35)

That story lies close to the heart of Waymarker. Faith often begins while we are still walking, questioning and trying to make sense of things. Christians believe that Jesus meets us on that road, shares our burdens and opens the possibility of forgiveness, hope and new life.

Following Jesus does not mean having every answer. It means learning to trust his way of love, mercy, justice and peace—and discovering that we do not walk alone.

BIO: Daniel Harris

Daniel Harris is a United Reformed Church minister serving communities across Bury, Rochdale and North Manchester. Before entering ministry, he worked as a specialist motorcycle youth worker and remains involved in the local motorcycle community.

His own journey through life and faith has not always been straightforward. It has shaped his belief that ministry is less about telling people what to think and more about listening, walking alongside them and helping them find their next step.

Through Waymarker, Daniel offers companionship and space to explore life, faith and the way of Jesus without pressure or pretence.

He is married to Saskia, has two teenagers and a cocker spaniel—and rides a Kawasaki Versys 650.
