LEAD PASTORS
ROY TODD
Roy Todd was born in Belfast but moved to England when he was 19 to study theology at uni. Since then, he has developed a much sought after ministry which is highly regarded by many churches. However, closest to his heart is a passion to grow bigger people. He carries an apostolic mandate to raise up a new generation of leaders who will continue to pioneer a 21st century church that connects with the lives of everyday people. Seeing people flourish is what rings his bell! One of his other great loves in life is music. He's an accomplished pianist whose music has gone all over the world, some of which has been used on film & TV.

People love her brilliant way of inspiring them to face the challenges and opportunities of everyday life with faith and hope. Ps Lydia is down to earth, authentic and a really inspiring communicator whose ministry is greatly appreciated. Behind the scenes, she is intrinsically involved in the day to day run of the church. She is also very much at the head of connecting with the community outside of church. Along with her husband, Lydia is a pioneer leader, passionate about inspiring a generation to pursue their God given dream.
