Staff and Leadership

Please find below an introduction to our church leaders and staff members.
 

Vicar - Rev Andy Bawtree		Verger - Sue Mills
Andy has followed Jesus for as long as he can remember and seeks to love and serve the people of River. He delights in preaching the Gospel and administering the two Sacraments (as all Anglican clerics love to do).		Sue is the person who works behind the scenes to make sure everything is neat, tidy and ready for worship of the Living God.
Churchwarden - Peter Cotterrill		Churchwarden - Nigel Curtis
Peter was raised at Skinner Street Gospel Hall, Gillingham where he was baptised aged 11. Sadly he drifted away from the Lord for a number of years, but the Lord never gave up on him and drew him back ( which is great for us and even more wonderful for him, his children and grandchildren) He still knows all 66 books of the Bible and has the patience of a driving instructor!		Nigel came to faith in Jesus at a Baptist Church and has been a faithful disciple for many years. He keeps a watchful eye on all issues technical (amongst other things).
Treasurer - Adrian Fellows		Reader - Lynne Watson
We are well served by Adrian, he is both diligent in looking after the finances and is often found tidying the churchyard. He was raised in the Methodist Church and maintains their fine traditions of worship and Bible study.		Lynne has a background in education and as a Reader in The Church of England puts those skills to good use as she preaches from the Bible and gets involved in our community and across the Dover Deanery and Ashford Archdeaconry.

 

Reader - Margaret Bowers
Margaret has a long history of pastoral work
in the Church. She has recently completed her
academic studies and serves as a Reader with 
a focus on pastoral ministry. She has a big heart
and shares her love of Jesus with others.
