David is a small town Australian who moved to England in 2009 chasing his then girlfriend, now wife, Joanna. They have 4 children together. David has previously worked in retail, as a cement renderer, and in various other things. Prior to coming to Hope Church he worked as an assistant pastor in Oxford and, before that, he studied theology at Oak Hill Theological College.
In his spare time he enjoys playing sports, improving his garden, or bbq-ing with friends.

I’m married to Stephen with three young children. I work part time as a midwife, alongside being a mum and wife which are my first priorities. I was raised in a loving Christian home and have known a personal relationship with Jesus since late childhood. I love being involved in the women’s ministry at hope church and I’m really keen to see growth in the church in the areas of care, providing purposeful hospitality and discipling one another. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors on walks, spending time with family and trying to snatch some time for creative activities!
