Revd Lee Duckett
Curate

Lee is a Londoner and worked as a telecommunications engineer when he became a Christian after attending an Alpha Course. The title "Curate", in Lee's case, means being in a training post learning the ropes of being in leadership.

Many of the special events arranged during the year are organised and facilitated by Chris. She works four days a week.
Fiona Edwards
Kitchen Manager
Email:
Hospitality is a major feature in the life of the church. Many events at both sites attract a large number of attendees and this requires a professional response to catering. Fiona oversees this task and works one day a week. She is responsible for St Luke's kitchens and general catering supplies for both churches.

The Parish Office is the hub of information exchange, secretarial support and often the first point of contact for many people. This role is shared by two part time support staff during the week at term time. If the office is busy the phone may divert to an answering machine - please leave a message and your call will be returned.
