Who's Who

Rev. Liz is always interested in hearing people's stories. She likes to pray, watch films, dance and eat cheesecake (Gluten-free!). We have six different churches so she believes there is a church for everyone - and she would love to meet you. Liz can often be seen around the town, so do give her a wave when you go past!
Catrin is originally from Liverpool and North Wales, making her bilingual Scouse and Welsh. She has a background in Youth, Children and Schools Work as well as Counselling and Therapeutic Studies.
