Our Leadership Team

Our team includes a rector and lay ministers who bring diverse skills and perspectives to their roles. Our dedicated core leadership team are committed to teaching the word of God and maintaining good values within the local community. We are supported by a diverse mix of volunteers who are key to the day-to-day running of the church, services and social groups.
Greenway's Rector - Revd Andrew Gilmour
The Reverend Andrew Gilmour’s ministry is shaped by a passion for people, faith and the transforming love of God. Originally from Northern Ireland, Andrew moved to Scotland to study Ecology. His journey subsequently took him into Christian youth ministry, where he discovered a particular calling to work with and encourage young people in their faith. Andrew undertook theological training at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. He was ordained in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, in 2022 and subsequently served his curacy at Christ Church, Abingdon.
In December 2025, Andrew was licensed as Rector of the Greenways Benefice, Andrew is married to Elisabeth, and they have four young children. Family life is an important part of his story and journey of faith. Andrew brings experience in youth work, theological training and parish ministry, together with an enthusiasm for building relationships and serving local communities.
His vision is to work alongside church members and lay leaders, seeking God's direction, encouraging spiritual growth and sharing the love of Jesus with the wider community.
His ministry is founded on faith, prayer, fellowship and a desire to help others discover and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Lay Ministers
- Becky Morrey - Youth and Lay Minister : I have been a member of St Pauls nearly all my life. I have worked as the Youth Minister here since 2015 and in 2022 became a Licenced Lay Minister. I love working with young people, the nerf battles, the fun, all the random questions, but mostly seeing them come to know Jesus and finding their place within his church.
- Joy Webber - Lay Minister: I'm a crafter, crime books and programme fan and a Jesus loving person. I've attended St Paul's since age 9 years and consider it my extended family.
- Lisa Wakefield - Lay Minister: After 20 years of worshipping in a place that has always made me feel loved and safe, I allowed myself to come undone to God’s calling! That is to love and serve, in every way and anyway! This is all with my wonderful family around me. How fortunate and thankful I am!
- Julia Childerhouse - Lay Minister: I've been at St Pauls for about 8 years now. I was licensed as a Lay Minister in 2019, and I enjoy the opportunity to lead and preach at services, but most of all I love getting to know people (over a coffee preferably!) Outside of church life I am also a Scout leader, and I enjoy walking and camping with the family.
- Nick Childerhouse - Lay Minister: I co-ordinate the small groups (house groups) that meet regularly, and I help with the Sunday evening youth work. I'm married to Julia also a lay minister here. Outside of church and work I enjoy a range of activities like cycling, hiking, climbing and drinking coffee with my teenage children.
