Who's who

Elders

Grace Church is led by a team of men recognised as being called by God to govern, guide and guard the church. The word the Bible uses for this role is 'elder'.



Derek works mornings for a charity in Reading called Lattitude and serves part-time at the church. He is married to Linda and has 3 grown up sons and 2 gorgeous granddaughters. Derek and Linda have run various young people’s groups; currently run a life group and help people pastorally. Don’t mention his jokes, which have deteriorated over 36 years!
