He has led Grace Church since its beginning. He is alsoa regular visitor to churches in eastern Europe, with the same foundational messages of Church and Grace. Joan has recently given up working as a special needs co-ordinator in a local school. She is involved alongside Derek in the work of pastoral care in the Church and is a key leader of our Children's work.
