Peter Farley-Moore
Vicar [E-mail Me]

My role as Vicar is to lead and to encourage the Church. I am passionate about St John’s being a place where people Encounter God, Grow as a Team and Have an Impact in the Community. I love being a part of such a committed community of people and enjoy the diversity of our Church. I love Asian food, praying, music and living in London. I am married to Andrea and have two sons and a growing band of animals.

Elizabeth Chevill
Curate [E-mail Me]

I grew up in London and then in Holland on Sea, Essex where, in my late teenage years, I was baptised on profession of faith. I studied music for my first degree and went on to complete a PhD in musicology at King’s College, London. Having trained to teach, I taught music at King Edward VI Chelmsford and later at Berkhamsted Collegiate School. In 2003, I went to Oxford to do a Master of Studies in Biblical Interpretation and then a research degree 'Purity in Hebrews and Ephesians'. During this time, I was accepted for ordination training in the Church of England. My interests include practical music-making (organ, piano, double bass, guitar), hill walking, swimming, reading and travel.

Colin Cliff
Youth Co-ordinator [E-mail Me]

I am the full time youth co-ordinator at St John’s Church. I have the exciting privilege of accompanying the Children and Young People in the church as they live out their faith in all the areas of their lives. I see my role as being to equip and encourage them to live as Christians in the excitement and challenges of this time.... and also to invent cheesy games and activities which they pretend not to enjoy!

I have recently completed a Youth and Community Work degree with the Centre for Youth Ministry, and before that trained as a model maker (!). I have a keen interest in photography and film, spend too much time on the computer, and also take great pleasure in supporting the mighty CAFC (Crewe Alexandra Football Club).

Pam Hadlow
Administrator [E-mail Me]

I am the Office Administrator here at St. John’s. If you come into Church any time during the week I’ll probably be the first person that you will meet. If you do need any help do feel free to come and say hello and ask any questions. My responsibilities include preparing the St. John’s Bulletin for the Sunday services as well as co-ordinating the dates and paperwork for all weddings, funerals and baptisms.

I am married, have two children, and together we enjoy family walks, trips to the cinema, cycling. I love knitting and using wool in all kinds of craft activities.

Lynne Buckley
Parish Worker [E-mail Me]

Hi, I’m married to Mike and have one grown up daughter called Lizzie. I was authorised as a Pastoral Assistant several years ago and have had a varied ministry in my Church in Sidcup fitting in as much as I can around my full time job as a teacher.
