All Saints Clergy and Leadership

Revd. James Brown joined us in the Autumn of 2020 with a specific mandate to grow the church in new ways.

He has impressed us with his personal touch, his thoughtful preaching and his media skills. You can sample his work, involving many church members, on our YouTube channel.

In addition, he has a keen interest in music, and in sustainability.

You can contact him at associate.vicar@allsaints.parishofharpenden.org or 01582 363789.

There is a Lay Reader (lay minister) based mainly at All Saints, but who also works across the parish, and a retired Anglican minister who is a church member and assists from time to time.

An episcopally mandated Lay Ministry Team assists and advises the Associate Vicar in the planning and delivery of worship, pastoral care and other aspects of ministry

Three district wardens are responsible for administration and organisation.

The District Church Council (DCC) meets regularly and is the governing body under James’ leadership. The committee also has representatives on the Parochial Church Council and Deanery Synod.

Over the years, at least six church members or former members have entered the ordained ministry, and others have become lay readers.
