MARY ROBERTS - COMMUNITY OUTREACH MANAGER
Mary came to faith at Hope Church in 2008 and has been a committed member ever since, joining the staff team in June 2018. Passionate about outreach, Mary has been a keen volunteer in many areas of ministry, and (abnormally?!) loves the opportunity to build a spreadsheet! If Mary isn’t at Church, you will probably find her on the side of a football pitch cheering on her teenage son Tristan (or Arsenal!).

JO HILLER - SENIOR PROPERTIES ADMINISTRATOR
Jo joined the team in 2021 to help us organise the busy lives and the maintenance of our church buildings and other properties. When she’s not tending to our buildings Jo has her hands full with two teenagers and twins(!); so don’t be surprised if you find her taking some well deserved time out by the beach with the family’s chocolate Labrador.
