                          Vicar:
                          Revd Canon Taffy Davies

                          Picture
                          Taffy arrived in the parish as vicar in 1999.

                          He is married to Rachel and has four grown up children. He is the Rural Dean of Macclesfield.

                          He is also a keen bee-keeper and illustrator.

                          His particular passion is to see a strengthening of links beween the church and community. 

                          He is, above all, keen to see the good news of Jesus Christ proclaimed as much outside the church walls as it is preached within.


                          Curate:
                          Revd Vivien Gisby

                          Picture
                          Vivien was ordained in 2008 after previously being both a librarian and an information scientist.

                          She is married to Paul and has three grown-up children, a border terrier and a hamster!

                          She enjoys eating out, going to the theatre and visiting art galleries.

                          Her particular interest is theological education and Vivien is one of the course leaders for the Foundations for Ministry course within the diocese which trains lay people for ministry.


                          Reader:
                          Mrs Jenny Kendal

                          Picture
                          Jenny was licensed as a Reader in 2003, and continues her ministry in the Church and in the Parish, by leading services, preaching, and chairing our Mission and Unity Committee. She is also a member of the Choir, and has a particular ministry to adults with special needs, leading services at Rossendale and co-leading Prospects services in Macclesfield. She is usually involved with the catering at parish events!

                          She is married to Tim (the Church Treasurer) and has three grown-up sons, and 4 grandchildren whom she visits as often as possible!

                          She juggles her time between the Church, family, singing, gardening, and her much-loved Mum, who lives next door.
