Meet our team and trustees

  • Pastor

    Darren’s dream is for Northcote Church to be known for our love for others. A place where every person feels loved and able to thrive; without any barriers or glass ceilings - being fully accepted and included. We’ve come a long way and he is excited to see this community evolve and flourish on this journey together.

  • Family & Community

    Lauren dreams of a world where everyone can feel loved and accepted just as they are and would love this church community to reflect just that! She cares very much about vulnerable people and heads up the UK side of a charity supporting kids and families living in poverty in Zimbabwe.
