St. Thomas' Church, Kilnhurst

Our Team

We believe that the church is a family and so every member has a role to play.

However, we also have dedicated staff who lead, run things day-to-day to help "prepare God's people for works of service, so that the whole body might be built up" (Ephesians 4:11-12).
