Who’s Who
Here is a little bit about the people who are currently serving the church in leadership roles. We are privileged to have two people who share the responsibility of Church Secretary – Paul Douglass and Adrian Male – a role that is about enabling the church to run smoothly and support Andy in his role as Pastor. Paul Pace is currently serving as Treasurer, keeping an eye on our finances so that we can function as effectively as possible and develop our work. We also have four Deacons (a term that is derived from a Greek word meaning ‘servant’) who serve the church in all sorts of practical ways.
As a Leadership Team, it is our desire to see everyone in the church find a place to serve and we would always be glad to talk to you about how you might use your gifts and abilities.
