MINISTRY TEAM
St Francis Church is now in Vacancy. Our previous incumbent's last service was Easter Sunday 2025. The APCM has just taken place and the new PCC will be meeting in May, at which point it will begin the task of creating the Parish Profile and advertising for a successor to lead the parish moving forwards. Pray for us and with us as we look to the future. Church life; worship services, pastoral care and our outreach events are on-going as usual.

Nikki is currently on parental leave and will be returning in September 2025. Our weekday groups are currently closed whilst we recruit a new team member.
Hi I'm Nikki.
I've been here at St Francis Church as a member of the congregation for a long time, part of YACC team for 10 years and I've been in post for many years now. I have a diploma in Childcare, NNEB, with 22 years experience in Childcare, having worked in various settings and with lots of different professional groups. I am also a fulltime mum to three children.
I love my job here at St Francis! We have an amazing congregation. I am lucky enough to work with a great team of volunteers.
We really look forward to welcoming your family here at St Francis!
I'm based here at St Francis on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and during Sunday services. I currently manage the YACC team and run Toddle time, Baby group and lead the Pre-school section of YACC on Sundays. I also help out with and organise some larger scale events which involve the whole Church family.
