Our team

Get to know some of our team at Emmanuel

Rose Jones

Vicar

Rose leads Emmanuel with her partner, Claire. Before she was ordained, Rose worked in the music industry and can often be found strumming guitar or behind a drum kit. Originally from Cornwall, she loves the coast, pasties, and curling up by a fire with a pint or a good book.

Claire Jones

Vicar

Claire leads Emmanuel along with Rose and has a particular heart for welcoming those who aren’t sure that church (or Jesus) is for them. She’s passionate about preaching, parenting, pancakes, and making three points that start with the same letter.

Laurie-Ann and her husband joined our church family in September 2018, when she started her role with us as the youth pastor.  Alongside her youth work, Laurie-Ann has a passion for dance.
