Paul Darlington - Vicar |
|
Mark Addison - Associate Minister with Responsibility for Youth and Families |
|
Paul is the vicar and heads up the staff team and church council. Paul is married to Gill and they have four daughters: Anna, Beth, Charlotte and Emily. He grew up near Wolverhampton and spent 11 years in London before serving in a parish church in Blackpool for 5 years. He is thankful for the serious promises he has made which help to keep him focused on what a vicar should be doing. Otherwise he might only ever play cricket, read books and eat steak.

Mark is married to Emma and has three boys. He has served as Youth and Families Minister at Holy Trinity since 2007. He loves football, drumming, eating pizza with his wife and playing indoor rugby with his sons. Hailing from the Lake District, Mark appreciates the warmer climate down south in sunny Shropshire though he does enjoy reminiscing about Kendal Mint Cake, fishing on lake Windermere and starring in defence for Kendal United FC.

James Weaver - Curate |
|
Andy Cranston - Associate Minister |
|
James is married to Abi and they have three small boys. James is originally from the southwest but spent the majority of adult life in London, working as social worker with young offenders, and then for churches. They moved to Oswestry in Summer 2020 for James' Curacy, to train to become a Vicar. James loves football (he still dreams of making it, even though he's past it!) live music, food (he eats all day long), and walking in the hills. James and Abi love meeting all kinds of people and have a passion to help others see in the Bible the amazing things that Jesus offers us. |

Andy is married to Lydia and they have three daughters and a son. They moved to Oswestry in 2014 when Andy was appointed Chaplain at Oswestry School, but these days his time is more evenly divided between Oswestry School and Holy Trinity Church. Originally from Devon, Andy grew up in Oxford, studied Engineering at Exeter University (where he met Lydia) and has gradually worked his way north since then. Andy loves serving the church family and helping pupils at Oswestry School consider the life and claims of Jesus, but given half a chance he'll be playing cricket, watching football or off to the beach or the hills with his family. |
