After working in marketing for a publishing company, he has been in church work since 2002 and became Rector of St Anne’s in 2014.

After a time working in financial administration she studied on the Cornhill ministry training course from 2015-2017 and began working for St Anne’s in 2016.

In her free time she enjoys playing nerdy board games, music and being creative.

Robin grew up in Hampshire in a Christian family, but it was while studying at the University of East Anglia that he saw more clearly that Jesus is the trustworthy Saviour we all need and this changed how he saw everything. He came to London and St Anne’s in 2018 working with the University and Colleges Christian Fellowship and has been Ministry Trainee at St Anne’s since September 2019. Robin wants to help people (especially those who may feel on the edges of Church life) get to know the good news of Jesus better through the Bible, and help St Anne’s be a loving community as a result.

Oli would have claimed to be a Christian from a young age but it was while at University and attending a large City church in London that the truth of the Bible and the sacrifice made by Jesus really made sense to him.
