I grew up in Southport and, after working across Merseyside as a Paramedic and lecturer for almost 10 years, moved to the Isle of Man in 2016. I was ordained in 2020 and have enjoyed volunteering with many organisations over the years, having been a Scout Leader and volunteer with St John Ambulance for over 20 years.

I love the outdoors, music, hiking and kayaking, as well as playing tuba with Douglas Town Band. I'm married to Sarah and have 2 incredible daughters, all of whom constantly outwit me! I love a good curry and can never turn down a slice of lemon drizzle cake!

I now serve as part-time Vicar of St Ninian’s while also still working for the Isle of Man Ambulance Service as a part-time Paramedic. Clearly, I like to keep busy and I also run a small first aid training company, am a trustee of the Ellan Vannin Home, an advising member of the Patient Consultative Committee of Hospice Isle of Man and volunteer my time with the Cheshire and Isle of Man Army Cadet Force as well as being the island’s Scout Association Chaplain. Finally - I'm also a clinical team volunteer and educator with St John Ambulance Merseyside.

I also have two part-time jobs, but both of mine are with the Church of England. In my role at St. Ninian's I oversee ways we can engage people in new, innovative ways of doing and being church. In the rest of my time I run Pioneer Church, which does just that but with no building.

I moved here in 1997 and spent 20 years running a charity here which engaged in youth work, training young leaders, and leading churches across all denominations into missional thinking. I'm a Director of a local anti-addiction charity (Motiv8), and of Emmanuel Bible College (NW England), as well as being a dramatist and writer. I've got a beautiful wife, two amazing girls, two pets that I'm sadly allergic to, and with ADHD ... also way too many batteries!

Marilyn's biographical info will appear here soon! Watch this space.

I have been on the Isle of Man for more than 60 years, now retired after a career of 40 years in the Financial Services Industry. Married to the amazing Annie for 30+ years with two adult boys. Have been a church warden at St Ninian's for several years.

An active member of our Open the Book team delivering dramatised bible stories to the 5 primary schools within our parish.

Have sung in a number of Island choirs over the years although now more involved in the brass band scene as Secretary and playing member of Douglas Town Band. I also play with Crosby and District Silver band.

We are so honoured to have Julian as our head of music. He has been the organist of St Ninian’s for over 45 years. He is a conductor of choirs and operatic societies, and was awarded British Empire Medal by the late Queen Elizabeth for services to Music.

Julian is a Master of Business Administration, Fellow of Chartered Management Institute and Hon Treasurer of St Ninian’s and other Island charities, as well as being a director of numerous international businesses including some licenced by Isle of Man Government’s Financial Services Authority.

I came to the Island in Aug 1997 after spending many years a Deck Officer in the Merchant Navy to take up the role of a Personnel Officer for the Company I work at sea. I spent 18 years recruiting young people to complete a 3 year training programme to become the future Captains and Chief Engineers in the Merchant Navy. When I retired, I had 100 Trainees on the programme 25% were women.

Since retiring I have been involved with St John's Mill as General Manager and now Company Secretary.

I have been involved with Safeguarding since 2016.
