Emma
Pioneer Pastor
I am the Pioneer Pastor for Hope Church, a lively Methodist Church based in Loftus. I am also a secondary school teacher, with 25 years experience, of teaching a range of humanities subjects including Geography and RE. In my spare time, I am a qualified netball coach and coach nearby Grangetown Netball Club in their under 16s and under 19s sections. I have been a Guide leader for almost 30 years, and have a range of experience from this in the outdoors, learning new skills and camping and more. I love seeing children and young people learn new skills, feel supported, at home, and loving the activities we put on. I enjoy demonstrating the love of Christ in what I do, and sharing my faith. I can't wait to be part of these events, and have the joy of leading a great team delivering high quality activities to local children and young people.
