Martyn moved to Pip & Jim's in 2010, having previously led a Church near Kings Cross in London. He is married to Janette and they have three sons who are all still at school.

Richard has been the part-time children’s and families' worker Pip & Jim’s since April 2015 and is retiring at the end of March 2019 - whilst we wish him well, we are sad to see him go. Thankfully many of the events that Richard has developed now come with great teams of volunteers so Kidz Klub, Cafe and Tots, school assemblies, holiday club, Pancake day etc will all run still.

Ruth joined the team in 2018 and is the part-time Church Operations Officer which means she organises lots of the activities that come with running a Church. So banns for weddings, booking enquiries, printing weekly notices, database, DBS checks, purchases of everything from electricity to more toilet rolls, and organising many of the rotas all go via Ruth. Without her we'd be lost! Ruth's married to Mike and has a lifetime of experience in organising things and people.
