The team helping make things happen
Here are the central team helping dream and pray this into being.
The 'Imagineers'
This is our gallery of the team we call our 'imagineers'. Their job is to represent the churches or areas of expertise.
This team will meet to pray, plan and plot over the next couple of years. Church rep's will keep communication flowing to their parts of the church across the Island, and as the year 2031 approaches, to dream as much as God knows is possible.
Rev Alex Brown
[Anglican Church / Pioneer]
"I can't wait to get our teeth stuck into this, it's going to be life-changing for individuals and churches alike."
Rev Catherine McFie
[United Reformed Church]
"Working for church unity, and helping people grow faith are two of my passions, so this is something I feel like I've been waiting for!"
Emma Nudd
[Broadway Baptist]
"I honestly believe that Jesus is the answer to so much of what this world needs still today - can't wait to see what God does."
Helen Edwards
[Event Management]
"I'm hoping to be able to bring all of my experience in staging large events, coupled with prayer and energy to help make this truly memorable."
Father John Hindley
[Roman Catholic]
"My role as a prison chaplain so often helps keep me remembering that Jesus came for everyone, and so often went to those others had written off. This opportunity is brilliant - I jumped at it."
Judith Ley
[Media / Arts]
"We've done things like this before on our Island, but never on this scale. If we get this right, it could be a game-changer."
Pastor Kevin Harding
[Elim Pentecostal]
"Jesus said that he would build his church, and I honestly believe that means the whole church. Praying this will be as meaninfgul as it feels like it might be!"
Panda Dooley
[Youth and Children]
"Children and young people are always ready to ask the questions that most adults have stopped asking, and to take the risks most adults don't. I can't wait to see how they challenge and change everything in JC33"
Capt Rachael Nieuwouldt
[Salvation Army]
"The Salvation Army consistently engage with both the spiritual and the practical ideas of 'salvation' modelled by Jesus. This project is exciting and hopefully we will bring a spiritual and practical energy to its focus."
RObert Simpson
[Methodist]
"I've spent my career as a secondary RE teacher and I know that when people truly engage with the real things Jesus said, it transforms their whole being."
Sam Rotchell
[Education]
"As a senior staff member in St Mary's Catholic school, I am sold-out for how preciously Jesus saw children. I want to be part of this and explore ways we can authentically serve schools as they educate about this significant, global faith."
