Meet The Team

Sue joined St Martin's as a curate in 2019.
After losing our previous vicar Bridget in January 2023, Sue stepped up to serve as Associate Minister,  leading the St Martin's team through that time of change, and on 14th January 2024 was officially licensed as the Vicar of St Martin's.

Prior to her training, she served as a children's minister in churches in Ruddington & Leicester, having previously been a primary school teacher. She has a heart to see people of all ages discover how deeply loved they are by Jesus and grow strong roots in him. 

Lesley joined St Martin’s church in 1989. Licensed as a Lay Minister in 2010, she values this ministry which enables ordinary church members to play an active part in church life, especially in preaching and leading worship. Lesley believes God speaks to us richly through scripture and she hopes to convey this richness to her church family.

Glenn joined St Martin's, and was baptised here, in 2018. Since then, he has taken up leadership positions in the church, including preaching and leading Sundary services, as well as co-leading a life group. He works as a primary school teacher and is a Licensed Lay Minister.

Gill has been the Children & Families minister at St Martin's since 2019. She is married to Phil and has 3 children. She has previously worked in a variety of roles supporting the learning and development of children. Her passion is to facilitate families in their own personal discipleship, to grow in their love for God, each other and creating a thriving community.
