All Saints

Dave is married to Helen and they have three young children. He has lived in Worcester, Oxford, London and Reigate.

Until the age of 23 Dave rarely darkened the doors of a church, but came to faith on an Alpha course in London. He worked for Unilever, a charity in South West London and a large London church before training for ordination. He loves mountain biking, building Lego with his children and sailing.

Debbie has recently moved to Whitchurch-on-Thames, a few miles down the River from Marlow, where her husband James has become the Vicar. They have three children – Tim and Nathan live in Cambridge where they work and study; Bex has just started a Dance course at Abingdon College. Debbie enjoys being outdoors; in the garden or walking the dog, and when she builds up the courage, she wants to give Paddle-boarding on the river a go! When indoors she always has a novel on the go, has creative projects to finish, and loves watching Sewing Bee, Bake Off or Pottery Throwdown!

Gabrielle was involved in music and education before ordination. She works throughout the Parish but with a particular focus on pastoral ministry – including bereavement support – and on the Church’s healing ministry.

Roland initially studied Biochemistry at Southampton University, and then worked for the Church Mission Society before training for ordination in Cambridge.
