One of our passions at Euston Church is to prayerfully raise up more men and women who are trained in how to teach God's word, experienced at pastoring people and have the character and convictions for a lifetime of labouring for Jesus - whether that be in the workplace, the family, or in some form of paid Christian ministry.

Pete Mokuolu
Megan Clokey

Church Wardens
Two members of the PCC also function as Church Wardens. They are a link point between the church family, the PCC and the vicar.
