Roger Middlebrook - Pastor |
|
Bex Hutchings - Deacon (Treasurer) |
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. |
|
I'm a small business owner, wife and mother of one. A Christian since 11 years old and a member for the last 6 years. We travel to attend church here as it is where the Lord has placed and blessed us. We love this church for how welcoming and supportive it is to all and I can't wait to become more involved.

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. |

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. We also have a rescue Rottweiler called Rosie. |
