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.

Andy Cranston - Associate Minister |
|
Sam Hodgins - Ministry Trainee |
|
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. |

Sam grew up in North Wales, where he was educated through the Welsh language. He’s looking forward to going to Durham in September 2025 to read Theology. In his spare time, he can be found playing music or on the terraces of Chester FC’s Deva Stadium. |

Kathryn is married to Steve and they have six children. They live on a smallholding just over the border into Wales where they raise pigs, keep chickens and ducks, bees and goats and most recently added donkeys and a second dog to their menagerie. Alongside her admin work with the church, Kathryn is also a freelance graphic designer and an Operations Officer for the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards in Wales. When not at her computer, she can usually be found attempting to garden, creating soap or something (mostly) edible in her kitchen. |
