Staff Team
We are blessed with a staff team with men and women from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. The team includes ordained and licensed Church of England ministers, as well as those who are non-ordained. We are currently seeking a new senior minister, and so at the moment our Church Wardens have an increased level of oversight.
