The Pastoral Secretary is Ruth Tregoning   The vision of the portfolio is to be a caring, sharing family who support one another at all times, especially in times of need. A family who holds each other up in prayer and has fellowship together through Jesus Christ.

The task of caring for everybody within the Church is too great for one person therefore the Pastoral Portfolio is in place to help the Minister with this portion of the Church Vision. The secretary coordinates the work of 39 Church Visitors. There are many aspects of Church life that can be made easier by a friendly visit but sometimes it is necessary to pass on information, perhaps in confidence, so that further help and care can be provided.
