R•view of Actlvltl•s In 2024 St. Crispin's had continued with its mission of sharing the gospel and discipling the Church family into the ways of Jesus. With a focus on making connections with people who are new to Church or the Christian Faith. This had been achieved through the regular delivery of worship and prayer services, bible studies, community and outreach events. Overall it has been a very encouraging year for the lrfe of the Church, with a change of leadership and attendance becoming more consistent especially on Thursday evenings including some attending from outside the St.Crispin's family to benefit from its prayer services, bible studies and the Churches focus on discipleship. As a result more people had taken on responsibility to volunteer or contribute their resources and time to serve the Church and its family. Change in Leadership: As of 5 September 2025, Andrew Bignold was commissioned and appointed as the new minister in charge of St.Crispin'5 Church as a volunteer. The previous minister Jonathan Blackham had left to continue his studies in Oxford. Alongside this, new trustees was also appointed i.e Catherine Clark, Jonathan Winn and Helen Hughes (resigned) in the following months. The previous trustee group were beginning to also step down to allow a new leadership group to form.
