Where were you at Vicar School?
I trained as part of the dispersed learning programme at Trinity College, Bristol, and was placed at St Mark’s in Bredbury, Stockport, before moving to Macclesfield and HTH.

And before that?
  • Self-employed as a landscaper designing patios and garden rooms, and landscaping outdoor classrooms for schools.
  • Youth worker at All Saints Marple for three years while at university including leading the New Wine detached team.
  • Youth work trainer at The Message Trust. Designing and delivering accredited Youth Work course with the National Open College Network to be delivered to the students at The Message Academy.
  • Foreman at Direct Line Accident Management.

Significant others?
  • Jen – studying for a Master’s Degree in Media Psychology at the University of Salford.
  • Layla –  loves baking and cycling.
  • Lois – crazy about animals, particularly pandas.

Question for Jen. What is Media Psychology?
It's the study of the effects of the changing landscape of media use on our brains and behaviour. It's a broad course looking at topics ranging from ‘what makes us choose what we do on platforms such as Netflix or Prime?’', ‘why people engage (or not) with social media’, and what media use looks like through our lifespans. I've studied how media representation of migration to Europe affects people’s views and behaviour, which I found really interesting.
 
Question for Layla and Lois. What do Cookie and Tiddles like to eat most?
They love their rabbit food but also carrots and strawberry tops.

Anything else, Jonny?
We’re really enjoying getting to know everyone at HTH and the community in which we're based and where we hope to engage those who are yet to know Jesus. 

Jonny, if you were an animal, what animal would you be?
Tiger, because they’re grrrrreat! (Frosties, get it?)
 
Anything else we ought to know?
When I was a youth worker in Marple, my youth group included someone who is now a member of HTH (always up to no good, joke!) Can you guess who? Answers to Church Office. Clue: keyboard owner.
