Mike Neville

Mike is in his eighteenth year as Rector of All Saints. He has been in full time Christian ministry for 26 years. His focus is making disciples of Jesus Christ. Mike preaches at All Saints on a weekly basis and so spearheads the evangelism programmes as well as heading up the staff team of 7.

Mike came to personal faith in Christ while studying at Durham University. Before training for ordination at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, Mike had a number of brief jobs, including working with homeless people in East London.

In addition to work in the parish Mike is also a trustee of 'The Proclamation Trust'. He spends an average of one day a month on this work. He also takes on a few speaking engagements outside the parish. For a number of years he has acted, for a two week period, as temporary chaplain at St Peter's English Church in Zermatt, Switzerland.

Mike is married to Liz and they have four children, Harry who is in his second year at St. Andrews University, Flora who has recently finished her A Levels and hopes to go to Bristol University, George who has just finished GCSEs, and Phoebe in her fifth year at primary school. They also have two dogs, Hal and Isla. As well as leading a women's bible study, helping with the Sunday School and monthly women's breakfast, Liz is a free lance photographer.

Mike's interests include hill walking, skiing, watching films, reading biographies and 19th century fiction.
