He has an unhealthy obsession with avocados, guitars and more recently fat-free natural yoghurt (greek style if possible but he’s not picky). When he’s not geeking out, Reuben can probably be found brunching with friends, taking a nap, or listening to God Is Good on repeat – what a banger!

For the last 5 years Jim and Vicky, the ministry team and the churches they lead have been on a journey (with joys and pain) exploring and developing a theology, model and practice of intergenerational ministry at the heart what it means to be ‘church’ (after the pandemic they have not gone back to kids and youth groups during a Sunday service). A proud Dad of 3 (though not feeling old enough to have one at uni) he loves music (plays a bit), football (more watching than playing these days) and getting out in the hills!
