Vicar: Revd Katie Tupling  I was licensed into post in a service held at Christ Church on Saturday 9th November 2013 by Rt Revd Steven Croft, Bishop of Sheffield. Previously I served 4 years as Curate in Belper (near Derby), and then I was Vicar in the Hope Valley (Hathersage, Bamford and Grindleford churches) for just over 6 years. With a background in youth and children's work I have a desire to see all ages know Jesus and grow as disciples. I also look to resource and develop people as leaders, and to create opportunities for people to encounter God for themselves. Living with a disability (Cerebral Palsy), I have an interest in what it means to believe in God who heals, and yet I still remain disabled. I am a founding member of a user-led group, delivering training to churches and organisations on issues of disability awareness and access to all, 'Disability and Jesus' I was appointed 'Bishops Advisor on Disability and Inclusion' to the Sheffield Diocese in 2016 I am part of 2 National Networks: 'Awesome' - Anglican Women Evangelicals: Supporting our Ordained Ministries http://www.awesome.org.uk/ I am the founder of the 'Clergy Mummies' Group on Facebook And I love narrowboats, my husband, my son, real ale, and Jesus...! Curate: Revd Ali Creasey Ali trained at the Yorkshire Ministry Course, ordained on the 5th July 2015 and Priested on 25th June 2016, at Sheffield Cathedral.

Prior to ordination Ali has worked in IT project management and as a full time youth worker. She spent much of her 1st year with us getting to know the local community and congregation and in doing so listening to their stories about faith and life. |
