A bunch of sinners who love the Lord Jesus

We have two churchwardens, Peter Sutton and Richard Heathcote.

From 1220 until 1960 we had our own vicar, then we shared a vicar, but the share was so small by 2015 that the whole system collapsed. You can see a list of them here. So all the ministry is now voluntary.

Simon Shouler is our resident priest or chaplain, holding the Bishop's general licence.

Mel Oldershaw is our licensed associate minister, also chaplain at Dove Cottage, Stathern, a branch of LOROS hospice. She is also our safeguarding person. We won't bore you with all the virtue-signalling verbiage about safeguarding here, but if you have any concerns do get in touch with her, as all should be and feel safe. 

Kate Kingston conducts all-age or family worship along with Peter.

All of us are involved in some kind of service. "I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than dwell in the tents of ungodliness" - Ps 84:10. We have lots of doorkeepers, actual and metaphorical, who look out for their neighbours and keep the church serving the village.
