Ephesians 4 Gifts
And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness.

Staff
We have supported members of staff because there are jobs that require much more time than most would be able to give as a volunteer. Members of staff are predominantly there to facilitate the functioning of the church but the church only works if every person plays their part. There will never be a time where the work that is required to make the church function properly will only be done by staff. Our efforts will always be given to freeing up the staff to take on specialist and complex work or work that facilitates the rest of the church to be as effective as possible.

You'll most likely find Phil in the kitchen! He cooks over 40 meals every week for the homeless community in Leicester as part of the Rachel's Table initiative that we support, as well as cooking for other events throughout the year,

Nina comes in to the church building in Stoney Stanton several times each week to make sure that every room is clean, dust-free, and ready to host lots of people.

Sheila comes in to the church building in Stoney Stanton several times each week to make sure that every room is clean, dust-free, and ready to host lots of people.

Leanne looks after the day-to-day running of our finances. She works closely with Pete and the Trustees to make sure accounts are balances and budgets are kept!

Lisa looks after our children and families ministry in the church. She plans sessions, provides crafts, trains our ever-growing HotRock team and ensures that all congregations are supporting parents and children as they learn more about Jesus.

Benj makes sure the church is represented well to the world. He looks after the website, branding, social media, design, photography, video and large events throughout the year, ensuring our message is communicated with clarity.

Mandy ensures the day to day running of the church office happens smoothly. She keeps on top of our church database and makes sure events and Sundays can function well.

Adam manages and maintains the church building in Stoney Stanton. He thinks strategically about the best ways we can use it, how we can improve it, and the increasing challenge of how we can fit more people in it!

Suzanne oversees our Mumstop groups in Stoney Stanton and spends her time setting up and running the groups, planning parties and maintaining relationships with some of the families that visit.

Helen works closely alongside David and provides support where needed. She also gets stuck in with church events and aspects of the wider Apostolic ministry.

Pete acts as the hub of everything going on in the life of the church. From serving teams to life groups, Sundays to external hires, policies and procedures, and the general wellbeing of the team. Pete does it all!
