As Alan moves towards retirement the church has appointed two men to come alongside in the leadership. Saturday 12 September saw the induction service of Matthew Benton as assistant pastor and the recognition of Tom Copperwheat as pastoral assistant. It was both happy and serious with both men and their wives answering questions about their calling to the church and their commitment to Christ and the work of the ministry before local believers and well-wishers who had travelled from Emmanuel Leamington Spa and Chertsey Street Guildford.
