Our leaders


The Reverend Alison Roche, Vicar

Alison Roche ‘Hi – I’ve been the vicar of St. Christopher’s since Dec 2005 and live in the Vicarage in Milligan Road. We are appreciating our new church building with all the benefits it brings for us and the local community, not least as it’s in the Samworth Enterprise Academy where I have a chaplaincy role.
I own a crazy dog called Holly who I enjoy taking for walks, preferably (but not often enough) in the Peak District. I also enjoy playing, singing and listening to all types of music and going to concerts as well as watching films and spending time with friends.’


The Reverend John Tonkin, Assistant Minister

John is a retired vicar who helps out at St Christopher's when he can and if needed. He also helps in other parishes when required. He is married to Margaret and they have three children and seven grandchildren. John has an allotment. He enjoys sports and plays table tennis most weeks. He also enjoys rambling - but hopefully not in his sermons!

Dr Paul Cavill, Reader

Paul

I've been worshipping at St Christopher's since 1987, and have had two children benefit from teaching and activities for kids in the church. I trained as a Reader and was licensed in 1995, and have been involved in leading services and preaching regularly since.
