Some unspecified error has occurred.

Bishop Christopher D Bartlett

May 24, 1963 - April 7, 2020

Christopher Dacosta Bartlett a husband of 30 years to Vivien Bartlett went home to glory in the early morning on the 7th April 2020. His early and sudden departure has torn at the heart strings of us all. He leaves behind his loving wife, his two beautiful daughters, his caring son-in-law, his gorgeous grandson, his praying mother, his loyal brother, his three kind sisters and his father. This has left a big hole in our family and in the hearts of all those who knew him, as he was not only a devoted and loving husband, a caring son, a brother, a father and a proud grandfather but he was a caring Father in the Gospel, a Bishop, the Senior pastor at Burning Bush Apostolic Christian Ministries, a qualified Counsellor and a friend to many. Although we mourn his legacy still lives on and we will continue to build on his great works.

    To the Bartlett family, I wish to send you my condolences for the loss of such a wonderful man, who in my time knowing him, was upstanding, held class and had honour. In my 25 years of working in the field and managing services in half that time, I have never come across such a dedicated, assured man who worked his profession as honestly and passionately as Christopher. I say this as every year, he top scored in his Appraisals and WAS the best worker in ALL of the services, and as his manager made me so very proud to have him in my team. I am so sorry for the loss of this man, for all that he gave to the world and I was blessed to have been graced by his presence for the last 4 years. As a manager, I think I will remember Chris, when he once recently said, that he gets paid doing something he loves. Not many people who go to work can say that. As a person, I shall remember him as a beautiful soul who lit up so much in people’s lives and gave so much love to those who he encountered on his journey. I wish you all well and wish you all peace and love. Delroy E. Ettienne

    Pastor was truly person who will help in time of need. I remember when I was moving to Luton and I was not sure whether I was making the right decision. I called Pastor and he gave me assured me not to worry, that all is in the Lord hands. You can call him and he will never turn you away. You can have a laugh with him and ask him for guidance (which I was always doing) I have attended several churches over the years but I have not known a Pastor like Bishop Bartlett. Big thanks from Marie C I pray that the Lord will strengthen Sister Viv, Ameila, Charlotte and Missionary Bartlett at the sad time.

    This still doesn’t seem real. Even after having the honour of being at your online home going service, it still doesn’t seem real. I was just getting to know you as just Charlott and Amelia’s dad, Josiah’s Grandad. Sharing family memories without the label ‘Bishop’ although I still addressed you as such. I am saddened that it was cut short. I would like to thank you for always checking on me and where my life was at every time you saw me. For the past couple of years you would always invite me to your church and we did visit a few times which was nice. I know your concern was that I didn’t stray away from God and church but I never strayed, I just didn’t have a church home. I want you to know I have one now. It’s a shame I couldn’t tell you in person. Thank you for being a good friend and the son my Grandad never had. He loves you so much and misses you. You shared the same birthday which was very special. The family will ensure he still celebrates that day and we will celebrate you too. I will miss your presence, humour, huge laugh and smile. You will never be forgotten EVER! My fellow Brixtonian, our Bishop and Friend, sleep well and party hard with the Lord and his angels.

    Thank you for being who you were. So pleasant and nice. Such a “people’s” person. For taking the time to come and visit with me and Brother John who truly enjoyed every moment. The way we all laughed together. Our spirit took to you from the moment we met. You will be sadly missed by me, Brother John and our family and, I’m sure by many, many others. Evangelist McIntosh

    Remembering Bishop Bartlett, him as a jolly and caring person. He was loved by me and my family and was a regular visitor to my home where he came and picked up his daughter Amelia who I looked after and where he picked up my daughter colette for Sunday school. Bishop Bartlett loved crab tomalley so this was a dish I cooked for him any time he felt for some Jamaican Caribbean food. Bishop Bartlett will be missed by me and my family. Love Mother Blake.

    How can we describe such a one, he was very special from the time we first met. I did see him through to salvation, when he got baptised and filled with the Holy Ghost. We did work together including evangelism, praying and fasting, going on the mission fields: Ecuador, Nigeria and so much more. Seeing him becoming a young people's leader then becoming an exalter, minister, elder, pastor and Bishop. When he started courting, his engagement and when he got married, had children and children's children up until his departure. He had made his life an example for many with his compassion for others. His desire was to see souls saved and the best for everyone: familiy, church family and friends. He loves to laugh and make others laugh with his sense of humour, joy and unique laughter. He was a very down-to-earth easy to approach passionate follower of Christ. He had touched many lives both near and far. We thank God for him taking heed to God's call and anointing upon his life. Philippians 1:21 For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. Love and blessings Mother Morgan and Elder Kevin Reid (prayer partners)

    Dear Daddy... There are days I feel like this is a dream, or the hospital made a mistake and I’m waiting for you to call my phone, checking up on us (in particular Josiah lol).  As I go through this grieving process day by day, I hold on to the special moments we shared as a family, in particular this picture. You were insistent you were having a photoshoot with your girls, especially as mum had blown up her picture from our girly Pamper day photoshoot. I Thank God!! we fulfilled your request and we got to include the family. The amount of laughter and fun that day was just amazing.  I’ve never felt pain like this, but I find comfort in knowing I told you I love you before you fell asleep. I know you are watching over all of us, I will do my best to continue your great work within youth ministry, I’ll always have Mum and Amelia and I will continue to cook the recipes you’ve taught me over the years.  Daddy I Love You & I Miss You... until we meet again Charlotte - Louise xXx

    You were my rock, my life-time friend and partner. Your laughter was infectious, your smile was magnetic, your embrace was comforting, your prayers were powerful, your love for me was true and you would go to the end of the world for your children. My love, I really miss you, there is a void in my heart and the tears I now shed at your passing overwhelms me. I know you are in heaven and I will see you again one day. Sleep on my darling, my lover, my soul mate, my husband until we meet again.

    God has another angel in heaven. As you passed through this world on your life journey, you met and befriended a lot of people. You counselled, guided, taught encouraged and gave to a lot of people, not just financially, but most importantly, you gave your time. I am so privileged to have known you in your life-time. I am so honored to have had you as my brother-in-law. You were a wonderful and excellent father, and an affectionate, and loving husband to my adorable, darling sister Vivien. You shall be deeply missed.

    BISHOP CD BARTLETT TRIBUTE 23rd APRIL 2020 I met this man of God over 30 years ago, when I first saw him I thought my God he would be a good boxer because of his size. I remember the first time I stood beside him and he shook my hand I felt overpowered by his gigantic size of a man. Over the years we have developed a friendship especially when he became the National Bibleway Sunday School Superintendent. He love coming to Northampton because back then we had a growing and fruitful Sunday school department. Bartlett as I called him, from my own personal experience, never held any grudges. Often I would call him out of the blue and as soon as he answered the phone, he would burst out laughing and say in that powerful voice of his, “Doctor Green how are you?” I would reply saying “don’t asked me how I am, because you didn’t phone I did”, then the conversation started. Bishop CD Bartlett was a loving husband, a family man and indeed a man of God. Vivien, the rib that God took out of your man, he used it to form you and you became his helpmate through God’s divine purpose. For the many years you were married, God used the union in several ways. I will mention two: 1. As his wife, you helped to shape him into the Godly man that he was. 2. As your husband, he also helped to shape you in the Godly woman that you are. Everything that a man wants in a woman he found it in you. Just to name a few: He wanted beauty, he found it in you. He wanted commitment and a homemaker, he found it in you. He wanted admiration, he found it in you. He wanted moral virtue, he found it in you. He wanted someone who he can totally trust, he found it in you. He wanted someone with a sense of humour, he found it in you. And he wanted a Godly woman, and he found it in you. He lived and preached the resurrection of the dead. Now that he is no longer with us, because the Lord has called him home, to us it seems too soon, but to God He sees and knows what lies ahead. He will be greatly missed, but we rest assured in the hope of God’s eternal rest where death will be a thing of the past. District Elder Baltimore Green
