G'day. I am Australian but have lived in the UK for over half my life.
I am married to Judy and between us we have 5 children and 4 grandchildren who we adore. We moved to Grove 6 years ago this June after living in 3 different counties in the previous 5 years (I don't recommend it!!). I have been a christian for over 60 years. 
I enjoy writing scientific papers about healthcare planning. We enjoy going out for walks and visiting coffee shops. 
  I was brought up going to GFEC and became a member as a teenager. I completed a degree in Digital Media and Film Production at Chichester University. After 6 years in Canada, I am back home working locally. I support Liverpool Football Club!

I've been coming to Grove Free Evangelical Church (GFEC) since 1998 with my wife, Judy, and four children. The children are now well and truly grown up. I like to think that I am too.
For 29 years I was running a small software house, but, in the 28th year I was called to become Pastor of GFEC. I started my biggest and best job on 1st July 2021.
Judy and I have 2 dogs, we both love dancing, theatre, reading and singing, while I am a "couch" fan of all sports and particularly West Ham United Football Club.
  Hi, I’ve been a member of GFEC since its conception.
I became a Christian from an atheist background when I was at university.
I’ve now been a Christian for over 50 years and starting to get some idea of where I fit into God’s creation.
My wife, Andrea, and I have 2 grown up children. My interests include Old Houses, Politics, Mechanical Clocks & Local History, and I like to engage with the non-Christians I know.

Pauline Selhi - Associate Elder   Sarah Tippett - Deacon (Administrator)
Hi, I’m Pauline. I am a mother, grandmother and carer. I was a science teacher, specialising in environmental science.
I have been part of the GFEC family for 18 years and am on the preaching and teaching team. I have always been a nerdy bibliophile who also enjoys walking outdoors in God’s glorious creation.
  I am Sarah and most Sundays I am doing something technical at the back of the hall. I have been part of GFEC as long as I can remember as my parents were founder members!
I am married to Brian and between us, we have 4 adult offspring and 2 granddaughters.
