We have been married for 17 years and have one exuberant 11 year old son and a 6 year old daughter. We were members of the SW London Vineyard in Putney from 1990, where we met, and were members of the leadership staff  there between 1998 and 2001. A major part of our ministry was overseeing and leading the work among the homeless in central London ("The King's Table").

Andrew was brought up and schooled in the Catholic church but through spending time working with Jackie Pullinger in her ministry among the heroin addicts, elderly and street-sleepers in Hong Kong discovered an expression of the Christian faith which captured his heart. He trained as lawyer and practiced as a commercial litigator in the City and Hong Kong before studying at London Bible College. He then worked for John Mumford (National Director of Vineyard Churches UK) establishing Vineyard Churches UK as a charity and organisation and was its first Administrator before joining the staff of SW London Vineyard during which time he was ordained into the ministry. Andrew is currently working part-time as a solicitor in the City of London. He is also Chair of a local and long established community regeneration charity.

Angela came to faith during her nursing training and has worked as a nurse specialising in care of the elderly and in the community; as a Health Visitor she pioneered a number of health-based community projects. As well as being a mother she is actively involved in the local community in Hoxton as Chair of Governors of one of the primary schools and runs the Ivy Street Family Centre which was taken over by the church in 2008.
