MEET THE TEAM
I am married to Ellie and we have four children. We only arrived in North Tawton in the summer of 2022, but we already thoroughly enjoy being here. I trained as a vicar in Bristol and I have had since ministered in Oxfordshire and Hull before moving to Devon. Before being a vicar I worked in computing research and I still have a great interest in computing. I enjoy connecting with God through exploring the countryside, on foot or by bike. So, if you do see me out and about then do say hello! I am passionate about Jesus and people getting to know him personally and grasping just how great he is – I hope that through my ministry here more people would know Jesus better!

TEAM VICAR
I am married to Terry and we have three grown up children and four grand-children. We have lived in Sampford Courtenay for 14 years since we retired from running the family business. I was trained for ministry in SWMTC - the local diocesan training scheme for ministers. I feel my particular calling is to the diaconate - which amongst other things means serving on the fringes of the church with a particular calling to reach out to those who would not normally come to church.
REVD RITA BULLWORTHY
ASSISTANT MINISTER
I am married to Kathy and we have two children, Felicity who’s 7 and Elizabeth who’s 5. We live on the outskirts of North Tawton and love being part of community life. I have worked for St Peter’s for 6 years and work full-time for the church taking up a variety of ministry roles and being part of the leadership team. I am often found holding babies and preparing snacks in the kitchen for a variety of activities including our thriving toddler group, our monthly Men's Breakfast and our after school club, The Reef. I also lead worship and services throughout the year including our monthly kids church event 'Toast Church'.
​
I think that ministry is built on 3 things: a deep rooted faith in Jesus and the bible, fresh filter coffee and food!
