Who's who
The Bible teaches that churches are to be led by elders/pastors (men whom God has gifted and appointed to teach and lead). Together, our pastors are responsible for the spiritual oversight of our Church family, and seek to lead us according to God's Word which they faithfully teach us week by week.
Rev. Adrian DiaperAdrian has been in ministry here at Rickstones since June 2007, having grown up in the Church. He trained for the ministry at London Seminary (formerly LTS) between 2005-07. Prior to training for ministry, Adrian ran his own business as a tailor.
