The Deacons

What is a deacon?

The word 'deacon' comes from the ancient Greek word for servant. They are the volunteer leaders within the church, for whom the church membership has voted. They, alongside the Ministry Team and Officers, set vision and agendas for the church body as a whole, and act as managing trustees. They are an integral part of the spiritual leadership of the church.

Who are the deacons?

The elected officers of church are: Nigel Redford (Secretary), and Tim Clifford (Treasurer).

The elected deacons are:

• Udoka Emmanuel-Odiachi
• Judith Gardiner

• Matthew Streeter

Maurice Johns is a life deacon, who although not acting as managing trustees is nonetheless a well respected member of the community.
