Richard Turner - Curate
Rich Turner is our Curate, he was ordained as a Deacon in the Church of England in 2024.
For many years he felt he should think about ordination in the Church of England but was reluctant to pursue it. After a prompt from God which he couldn’t ignore any longer, he started exploring a call to ordination in 2013.
Rich is a Chartered Electrical Engineer by profession and, as a Self-Supporting Minister, will continue to work in Engineering alongside his new role in the parish. He’s married and has four adult children. They moved to the parish in 2016.
