The Revd Paul Hinckley has been offered the post of Team Vicar, which he has accepted.
Paul was born in Marlow, but has since lived in many different places. His college days and early career were spent in design and safety engineering for aircraft and submarines, before he responded to God's call to ordained ministry. He was made deacon in 1994 and ordained priest 1995.
He has enjoyed the experience of belonging to both traditional and emerging churches since becoming a Christian in his teenage years. He has been involved in a wide range of activities that have brought the gospel and the church to life in fresh ways. He is currently a vicar in Yateley, Hampshire, bringing a strong emphasis on developing lay ministry and a commitment to creative outreach and fresh expressions of church. He is looking forward to building on the foundations set in place in Encounter, and helping all of us in the Team Ministry to be a community of people for whom church is much "More than Sunday".
Plans are going ahead for Paul’s licensing in mid-September before which he’ll be making another big change in his life - getting married to Julie shortly before he joins our Team. Paul and Julie are very much looking forward to making their new home together with us in Marlow.
Please pray for Paul as he says farewell to the people of Yateley, and for Paul and Julie as they make their final plans for their wedding and their move to Marlow.
