Alan Bickle - Minister & Full time Church Worker

He is married to Diane and has four grown up children. He enjoys most sports and has been instrumental in setting up both our church table tennis team and our community carpet bowls group. He supports Sunderland and Chelsea which might just account for his sense of humour!

Derek Sleep - Elder & Minister

Derek is married to Nancy and has two grown up lads. He is a retired civil servant and as a result is now enjoying spending time with his family and surfing the internet.

Peter Machin - Elder

He is married to Linda and has three grown up kids. He works for Rolls Royce and he too is an avid Sunderland fan, which might explain the lack of hair left on his head! Peter loves to entertain and enjoys nothing more than eating good food with friends. He also loves holidaying in France where again he enjoys good food and playing a few rounds of golf.

Marjorie Snaith - Mission Deacon

Marjorie is the proud mother of her only daughter Joanne. She works as a college lecturer and enjoys doing arts and crafts in her spare time. You can often see a large selection of her home made cards at our fund raising events. Marjorie can often be found manning the stove in the church kitchen, cooking up a treat for us all to enjoy.

Phil Oliver - Devotional Deacon

He is married to Jean and works for Gentoo. He enjoys playing tennis and watching most sports. If there's a new gadget out, you can be sure that Phil will be itching to get his hands on it to give it a go.

John Selbey - Fabric Deacon

He is married to Nicki and has one cheeky son, Ben, who he loves to tease! John works as a test centre manager for the DSA, so it's not surprising that he loves to drive - especially at high speed on the German Autobahns! He loves anything practical and can usually be found busy with computers, cameras or barbeques at church outreach events.

Audrey Pilkington - Visitation Deacon

You will find Audrey at the centre of everything, she is well known in our local community and is a real people person. She has a real heart for everyones well being.

Bill Sewell - Minister

He is a character to say the least, be sure not to get up to mischief in front of him or you might just find your antics recorded in a poem and shared with the whole church.
