MEET THE TEAM

  • Senior Leader | Elder | Trustee

    I am the senior leader of New Life Church, having taken on the role in September 2022. I’m passionate about worshipping God and leading people into an encounter with him. I also lead the eldership team who provide spiritual leadership and direction to the church.

  • Communications Leader | Trustee

    I lead the communication team, having worked as a writer and editor for many years. I’m passionate about the written word, and enjoy partnering with the creative skills of my colleagues in the production of clear, compelling messages and excellent graphic design. I also lead in equipping and engaging the church in corporate and personal prayer. In addition to being a trustee, I also attend all eldership team meetings.

  • Missions Leader

    I lead our community action programme. I played a key role in setting up Unity Park Station, in collaboration with the Winter Night Shelter, and introducing a community club that provides services to the lonely and vulnerable. In addition, I’m our Operations Manager and have responsibility for Ridgeway Centre Conferencing. I also attend all eldership team meetings.

  • Spiritual Transformation Leader | Elder

    I am passionate about people feeling they are part of our community. Our small groups are a vital part of that, and my team and I work hard to provide a wide range of groups to ensure that there's something for everyone. Furthermore, my team provide a key support role for connecting, integrating and discipling people across the church.

  • Families Leader

    I oversee Families at New Life. I love to equip, engage and connect families by providing tools and resources to help them grow in their relationship with God. I’ve worked for over 25 years in various children’s and youth settings and lead a large team of volunteers. I love being around people (especially kids) and I’m never far from a Diet Coke (another great love!), particularly if it’s enjoyed with friends.

  • Communities Leader | HR Manager

  • School of Missional Life | Elder | Trustee

    I’m passionate for people to encounter Father God and be positively transformed as they discover their true identity as sons and daughters of the King of Kings. I lead the School of Missional Life, which offers a ten-month training adventure that inspires, encourages and transforms. Find out more at smlmk.org.

  • Diversity | Elder | Trustee

    My focus in New Life is to encourage compassionate Spirit-led fellowship that enables and empowers people of diverse cultures, ages and traditions to seek God's heart and perspective in all situations. Professionally, I’m a qualified Health Care Practitioner with a specialism in Forensic Mental Health.

  • Overseas Connection, Elder, Trustee

    I am responsible for overseas connections at New Life. I’ve been married to Sharon for 40+ years. I’m a father of two sons and granddad to two grandsons. I retired after working for British Telecom for 37 years, and now have more time to explore God's wonderful creation in all its glory. I am passionate about seeing how New life Church can support what God is doing worldwide in response to the great commission.

  • Evangelism | Elder

    I am responsible for evangelism at New Life. My role is two-fold: creating opportunities for people who don’t know Jesus already to come and meet him. Secondly, I help equip those who do know Jesus with tools, courage, and opportunities to witness to what God has done in their lives, so people they encounter get the opportunity to meet Jesus through them.
