The Congregation
The Minister
The Revd. Robert Jordan M.A. has been Immanuel’s minister since April 2010. He was born in Argentina and spent most of his life there (apart from a period of study in Scotland) and is bi-lingual in English/ Spanish. He is married with two daughters.
Church Secretary
Currently our secretary is David Leadbeater. Together with a group of Elders he organises the life and smooth- running of the church . Like all elders within the United Reformed Church he has been chosen by the members of the local church and ordained to office.
Church Treasurer
Our Treasurer is Sue Goodall, who, with a dedicated finance team, works to keep our accounts in order by setting budgets, paying bills, and generally keeping a tight rein on our expenditure.
The Elders
The elders meet with the minister every month and have oversight of the church – its worship, pastoral care, finances, outreach, as well as day-to-day matters covering maintenance and cleaning. They work in conjunction with other church committees (Buildings and Grounds, Finance, World Concerns, Outreach and Worship).
Organist and Choirmaster
For more years than he cares to remember, Revd Geoff Gleed has been Immanuel’s organist and choirmaster (see Music at Immanuel).
