The Leadership Team are responsible for the day to day running of the church.
About
Monica was elected onto the Leadership team in September 2020, after being co-opted in April 2020.
Monica: ” I have been part of the Immanuel family since February 2016. I am married to Trevor and we live in Burpham, near Arundel. We have three grown up sons. I am very interested in joining with others in experiencing Christ’s love more and more, and following him sacrificially in loving obedience. I applied to be a leader because I am passionate about working out HOW this can be done in the midst of our busy, distracted and sometimes complicated lives, in our “post-Christian”, secular Western society.”
