Continuation of Bishop of Rochester's statement

Scott has been Team Vicar of the parish of Church St Helen's in Liverpool Diocese since 2024.  This parish is made up of 11 churches, including St David's, Carr Mill and Riverbank Café Church where Scott served as Vicar and Pioneer Minister from 2010 until they joined the Church St Helen's Team.  We are confident the wide and varied experience he has had will be put to very good use here. 

Scott is passionate about connecting with people and looks forward to building on the strong community links that have already been established in Biggin Hill, while fostering new ones.   

He trained at St John's, Nottingham, and prior to ordination worked for BT Cellnet (then o2) which provided support for mobile phone retailers and logistics companies.

Scott is married to Jenny, who grew up in Kent and is currently working as an Early Years Music Teacher. She is looking forward  to being closer to her family after many years living in the North West. They have 2 children  - Isabel who is 16 and Chelsea who is 10.

Scott says: “It is a huge privilege to be asked to serve as your Vicar, and I am looking forward to being part of the parish, Deanery and wider community.  With God's guidance, together we will undertake the mission to which we are all called here in Biggin Hill.  I am thrilled to be part of this parish as it looks to the months and years ahead, and look forward to making it home.  Jenny, the children and I are excited to move and cannot wait to meet you and begin to get you know you all.”

 Please hold Scott, Jenny and the family in your prayers as they prepare to move over the summer in readiness for his licensing service, which takes place on the evening of Wednesday, 9 September.
