Rev Tim Goodbody - Associate Minister
I grew up in Buckinghamshire, and have lived in France, Yorkshire, Cornwall Oxford Wiltshire, and Dorset before making Essex my home. Although my great grandfather was a Methodist minister I did not start going to church until I was about 20, when I began a journey of faith and discovery which continues to this day. I inherited from my parents a love of West Ham Utd (dad) and Liverpool (mum) and caught from my wife a love of campervans (especially vintage Bedfords). I enjoy cycling and running and I listen to a lot of music, mostly loud and played on guitars. Ruth and I have been married since 1994 and our children are now grown up. Our two cats keep us busy though!
I work in the diocesan offices in Chelmsford, with those who are exploring a calling to ordained ministry, and through that I preach in lots of different churches across Essex and East London on Sundays but I am blessed to be able to serve in such a great team here.
