Below you will find info on some of the ‘familiar faces’ on the Hope House team and other key people that work faithfully in our Church, either as paid staff or voluntarily. However, it is important to stress that these people are no more 'important' within the Church than the many, many other folk working in all different areas of Church life, who give freely of their time. All of our Church members are important to God, from the smallest baby to the oldest adult. It’s just that these are some of the names and faces that you are most likely to meet at Hope House, or speak to on the phone.
