Roger Middlebrook   Bex
Roger Middlebrook - Pastor   Bex Hutchings - Deacon (Treasurer)
I've been coming to Grove Free Evangelical Church (GFEC) since 1998 with my wife, Judy, and four children. The children are now well and truly grown up. I like to think that I am too.
For 29 years I was running a small software house, but, in the 28th year I was called to become Pastor of GFEC. I started my biggest and best job on 1st July 2021.
Judy and I have 2 dogs, we both love dancing, theatre, reading and singing, while I am a "couch" fan of all sports and particularly West Ham United Football Club.
  I'm a small business owner, wife and mother of one. A Christian since 11 years old and a member for the last 6 years. We travel to attend church here as it is where the Lord has placed and blessed us. We love this church for how welcoming and supportive it is to all and I can't wait to become more involved.

Adrian Kerr - Deacon   Katrina Kerr - Deacon (Events & Hospitality)
I'm a Missionary Kid whose parents worked in Tanganika, so have been in church circles since I was born. I chose to trust in the LORD JESUS CHRIST as my Saviour when I was fourteen and have served HIM in many roles since then. I married Katrina back in '91 and am so grateful that the LORD brought us together. We have two adult children. 
My interests include reading, spectator sport, dancing and model railways.
  Hi I’m Katrina. A wife and mother of 2 not so young people. 
I’ve been at GFEC for 15 years and a Christian for 40.
I love cooking, singing, dancing and dinner parties.

  Hi, I’ve been a member of GFEC since its conception.
I became a Christian from an atheist background when I was at university.
I’ve now been a Christian for over 50 years and starting to get some idea of where I fit into God’s creation.
My wife, Andrea, and I have 2 grown up children. My interests include Old Houses, Politics, Mechanical Clocks & Local History, and I like to engage with the non-Christians I know.

Hi, I’m Pauline. I am a mother, grandmother and carer. I was a science teacher, specialising in environmental science.
I have been part of the GFEC family for 18 years and am on the preaching and teaching team. I have always been a nerdy bibliophile who also enjoys walking outdoors in God’s glorious creation.
  I am Sarah and most Sundays I am doing something technical at the back of the hall. I have been part of GFEC as long as I can remember as my parents were founder members!
I am married to Brian and between us, we have 4 adult offspring and 2 granddaughters. We also have a rescue Rottweiler called Rosie.
