Introducing Us to You

Some People

There are a lot of people involved in the life and ministry of the various Churches. We believe in everyone being able to use their various gifts and abilities as we all share in the ministry of the people of God. However we thought you might like to have a picture in your mind of those you might see most often leading on a Sunday or other main occasions
