Who Does What?

The responsibly for running the church normally rests with the Vicar, and currently, during the interregnum, this is shared with the Church Wardens and our Curate Revd Louise Ellis.  In addition we have a part-time Parish Administrator and a part-time cleaner.

There is a strong lay involvement in the church, with most areas of ministry led by the laity. The ministry of the church is run through various teams: A 'Preaching Team', for those who preach and also lead worship; a 'Shared Leadership Team', for working through the day-to-day issues and setting the church's agenda; a 'Pastoral Team', for visiting newcomers and the sick and needy and a 'Ministry Development Team', for those looking forward to full-time paid ordained and non-ordained ministry. All decisions are ultimately taken by the Parochial Church Council ('PCC').

The church has two licensed Readers, who are licensed to lead worship and preach, with a further two in training, and four Southwark Pastoral Auxiliaries ('SPAs') who are commissioned to serve in Pastoral Ministry.
