Ministry Team and Staff

Prior to coming to St Paul's Church, Imogen has ministered in parishes in South London and the Midlands, and was a residentiary Canon at Chelmsford Cathedral. Prior to ordination she worked with the vulnerably housed, those suffering from addictions, and worked to find safe routes for women out of sex work in the east end of London.

She studied to be a priest in Cambridge and is excited to be back living here with her family. She has a husband and twin boys. Imogen is a committed Christian environmentalist and longs to see deeper integration in our lives, which have become disconnected and fragmented. She has a deep sense of love for children and young people and believes they have much to teach us about God. She is also passionate about teaching and preaching, and believes that the arts have a significant role to play in helping us live vibrant lives connected to our loving God.

For general information about the church, its worship and activities, and for baptism, confirmation, prayers of love and faith (for same-sex couples), wedding or funeral enquiries please contact Imogen.

“Hello, I’m Emma! I’ve lived in Cambridge for three years as a student, but having graduated in June, I’m now settling into the non-university part of the city and have been coming to St Paul’s on Sunday mornings for about a month. At university, I studied Sociology and Politics, and was involved in campaigning and activism for social and environmental justice. I also sang in Clare Choir, and this year I have a choral scholarship at St Martin-in-the-Fields, London. I’m so grateful for the welcome I’ve received at St Paul’s and am excited to continue and develop its important work in community outreach.”

Julia Evans is a Licensed Lay Minister and is involved in leading and speaking at St Paul's and children and families work. She is now retired from primary school teaching which gives her time to be involved in the various programmes at St. Paul's. Julia loves the wide and varied friendships and community of St. Paul's, and is fortunate to have her 2 children living close by with whom she and her husband Martin spend time with, particularly her 8 year old granddaughter Wren who teaches her much about God and life. Unfortunately she also likes food and all things sparkly but tries to contain both! She is currently learning to play the piano, a long time wish, and in the hope of keeping her mind 'nimbleish.'
