Meet the team…
Donna is completing the second half of her curacy (‘Vicar training’) here having been involved in church leadership for many years. She has a passion for children growing in their faith, befriending the elderly and encouraging ex-offenders that Jesus can transform their lives. Prior to ordination she had a corporate role in a software company, working in three different countries and managing global accounts. She loves to canoe and is never sure whether to confess that she rather enjoys picking up some boxing gloves and attacking a punch bag.
Jon is a long-time member of All Souls and has been on the staff since 2015. He is a Licenced Lay Minister (LLM) and regularly leads the sung worship in Sunday services and is part of the preaching team. As Church Manager, he oversees all practical sides of church life and manages the Office Team. He is a qualified occupational therapist, having worked in a variety of clinical and management roles. He is married with 2 children.
Lizzie has been married to Jon for 10 years and they have two primary age sons. She has a BA and an MA in English, which is why her CV includes writing and research, wedding planning, TEFL and floristry! She has volunteered in children’s groups for some years and has been glad to discover that skills from all of those previous jobs have been of use in working alongside the under-11’s!
Liz oversees the various social action projects on our local Ivybridge Estate, including a Foodbank, cafe and friendship groups.
