Evan is married to Hilary and they have 3 young children. If you can ever manage to get Evan to stop talking then you might see him enjoying a pint down the pub, watching crime dramas, sci-fi and sport on the telly, going for walks with his family, or gazing at the stars. Evan first trained as an Astrophysicist, before going to Israel, being called into full time ministry and retraining at St John's College in Nottingham.

But then, 9 years later in 1994 the position became vacant and I was asked by the then current Minister if I would like the position. I actually declined because I had another job at the time and hadn’t thought about leaving.

However, the Lord knew differently and kept telling me that this is what I had applied for all those years ago and that now was the right time. So this led me to change my mind and accept the job of administrator and here I am 14 years later still working in a job I thoroughly enjoy.

My family and I have enjoyed worshipping with the Church family at St. Thomas for over twelve years.

I joined the team to serve as Children and Family Support Worker in April 2008 and the part-time role continues to develop and change. I network across a range of different groups: Leighswood School and Children’s Centre, St. Thomas Church Playgroup, Tom’s Toddlers, Footprints and the Hub – all age church in the afternoon. I also offer support to families and individuals as and when it is needed.

It’s all a lot of hard work which requires a big team effort. It can be thrilling and exhausting in equal measure, but there is nothing like it!

This job is very full and very rewarding. Thank you for allowing me to be part of what God is doing here at St. Thomas.
