Meet Our Staff Team

Henry joined the Moreton Vale Churches as our minister in July 2021, prior to that having served parishes in and around Nottingham. He is married to Kate and they have a son, Ali. He loves sailing (and Moreton is slightly nearer the sea than Nottingham), watching Rugby, and exploring the Cotswold countryside with a lively Labrador called Oscar.

Ian has been ordained for around 40 years, and served in parishes in North and central London, Eynsham, and Basingstoke. He, and his wife, Ruth, have recently retired from full-time ministry, to Moreton, where he helps out in all aspects of the ministry, as our part-time Associate Minister.

Gareth joined the church family in April as Curate with Oversight, having served the earlier part of his curacy in Lechlade. He is married to Sonia and they have two young children. He loves sharing the good news of Jesus, going for long walks, reading old books, and snooker.

Peter is our Lay Parish Minister, and worshipped at St David’s for ten years before joining the staff team in April 2024. He is married to Francine, and they have three children; Harry, Matilda and Alice. Peter loves to teach and share the gospel, and see Jesus at work in people’s lives. Peter has trained as an engineer, and enjoys pretending he can fix things. He also enjoys travelling with his family, painting, growing vegetables, and writing about himself in the third person.

Suzy joined the staff team in August 2023 as our part-time children's worker having been a member of the church since 2019. Suzy and her husband Jeff have two lively (but lovely) boys. Suzy also works as an author and editor for The Lela Initiative and has recently taken up martial arts.

Margo has been a member of St. David's for about 19 years, with husband Rob, and two sons, James and Jonny. Margo is our Church Administrator, but she also looks after the running of St. David's Centre, co-ordinating the bookings, and making sure all runs smoothly. In her spare time she used to run the local branch of the Mothers Union and helps with Sunday Club!

Sharon grew up in Southampton and moved to Moreton in 2015. She joined the staff team as IT and Communications Worker in June 2020. She has one daughter and a guide dog brood called Lucy, and together they enjoy walking and movie days!

Max moved to Moreton in Marsh from Walsall, in July 2012 with his wife Caroline, upon her retirement as a primary school teacher. It was walking through the doors of St David’s in September 2012 which changed both Max and Caroline’s lives forever! Having intermittently attended various CofE churches throughout their then 29 years of marriage their eyes, ears or hearts had never previously been truly opened to the salvation offered by Jesus’ death on the cross! Following coming to faith and a growing involvement in life at St David’s he has been honoured to serve as Warden since 2018.

Sarah has been a member of St David’s for 21 years but truly came to faith almost 16 years ago at a Christianity Explored course run by St David’s. She works part-time in the community as a Community Nursery Nurse in the Health Visiting team. Sarah is married to Nathan and has two adult children, Ellen and Joe. She loves watching live music and drinking coffee with friends. She began serving as Warden in May 2023.
