| Rev Rachael Hawkins - Minister | ||
 It is a joy to be the minister of Chandlers Ford Methodist Church. Every day is different and there’re always new people to meet and new challenges to think about. It is always a privilege to spend time with people at all stages of life. Prior to coming to Chandlers Ford I was a minister in Hertfordshire and Surrey, but originally I’m a Yorkshire lass. The accent isn’t strong any longer, but you may hear occasional hints. Wherever we come from, I pray that everyone will find a welcome at CFMC as together we seek to follow where God leads.

| Richard Jones - Safeguarding Officer | ||
 As a psychotherapist having worked for many years in the community, I am passionate about health, safety and well-being. This new chapter is a welcome challenge in terms of integrating existential and spiritual dimensions to a very important area of clinical responsibility. I aspire to bring an awareness of many different aspects of diversity and inclusion along with an ability to own when I may need support or additional guidance. The part of this work I know I will enjoy the most is relating to church members and building relationships of trust, both internal and external to the CFMC community. I look forward to being alongside you all on your journey.
