Administration
Our Church Managers, Laura Sylvester and Sally Bessada, help ensure the church runs smoothly, running the lettings and other administrative work.
Sean Collins, our caretaker, helps keep the building clean and tidy.
The church depends on the growing number of volunteers who give their time to the church, and we have a growing lay leadership taking responsibility for whole areas of the church’s life.
See Volunteering for more information.
Finance
Our Treasurer, Rupert Steele, oversees St. Philip’s expenditure and ensures we have sufficient money to carry out our aims and objectives.
Rupert also provides clear audit trails to our independent examiner, Harmer Slater Limited, and presents our annual accounts at the Annual General Meeting.
