Here is an introduction to our pastoral and support teams.

16Tim Allen, Assistant Minister
Tim has certainly been bred (even if he wasn’t born) in Croydon. He is passionate about whole life discipleship and particularly working with Young Adults. He enjoys drinking well-bodied coffee, cycling and playing the guitar, although not all at the same time.

  27Lucia Wood, Student Youth Worker
Lucia has been attending PBC since arriving from New Zealand in 2007. She hopes that through this role, she can help families find community in the church, just like her family did! Lucia's degree in Photography has come in handy for serving others. She loves all things creative, especially when she can encourage the youth to get involved too!
