Pastoral Co-ordinator & PCC Member
James and Becca love living in Ashton, which after 16 years is definitely feeling like home and now all 3 children are developing decidedly northern accents! They’ve been at St Andrew’s since 2011 and are so excited by all that God is doing to grow the church family. James loves all sports, playing or watching, although these days it’s most often watching the children.   Liz grew up in Shropshire where she became a christian age 16 , then met David at university in Sheffield and has now lived in Preston for more than 30 years. They have 3 children and 3 grandchildren. Liz enjoys reading, music- listening( and sometimes playing),  gardening and talking to people!

Ministry Trainee
Michelle is a proud Prestonian and has been at St Andrew's since 2014. She worked as a maths teacher at a school in Lancaster before joining the staff team as our administrator in 2017. Michelle is married to Dan and enjoys baking and both watching and playing sport.    Originally from Sheffield, Finn spent three years in Cornwall to gain a degree in illustration before moving to Preston to seek his fortune. Finn is fond of sandwiches, nice walks, drawing comics, writing poetry, watching films, and playing the banjo. He is married to the lovely Chloe who is far nicer to chat to.

Craig Lavender

Churchwarden
Dave is married to Jess and has two children, Pippa and Toby. Originally from a small village in the Brecon Beacons, he moved to Preston in 2010 and works locally as an engineer. Although he grew up in a Christian home, it wasn't until he was 18 that he realised he needed Jesus as his saviour and was baptised in a freezing Welsh river! He loves being part of the St Andrew's church family, and seeing people grow in their love of Jesus. Outside of church, Dave enjoys walking and climbing, good food, fine ales and (like every good Welshman) he lives and dies with the Welsh rugby team!   Craig and Angela have been attending St Andrews since 2021, and have three children and two grandchildren. Craig and Angela both come originally from Sheffield but crossed the border into Lancashire in 1986, and apart from a brief few years in Austria, have remained here. Craig loves walking, especially in the mountains, and generally any sport, unfortunately mostly watching these days rather than playing.
