Meet Reverend Mark Fletcher

Church_news Community_news

I'm married to Angela, and we have two almost grown up daughters. We've spent 20 years in parishes in central London, and have served some very diverse and international congregations. My current appointment is as team vicar in Barnsbury, with responsibility for Church on the Corner, a missional church plant within the parish that reaches young adults, and for the last two and a half years I have overseen the whole Parish through both lockdown and a long interregnum. I have also had experience of seasonal ministry in Zermatt and Kandersteg. Beyond the parish I hold a number of Diocesan responsibilities in the areas of church planting, training and developing vocations, I was Chaplain to the Stepney Intern scheme, I am an Assistant Director of Ordinands and also Surrogate for Islington.

We have had a sense for some time of God calling us on to new things and have been genuinely open to whatever and wherever that might be. Our prayer has been to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, and he will make straight your paths" and despite times of real unknowing, God has been faithful to that promise. And we are delighted that we have been called to a part of the world that we love dearly and two churches that are so outward looking and full of life and love.
