The Parish of Ockbrook & Borrowash
Meet The Team
Our church is led by a team of people with a shared passion of serving God, his people and his purposes
Led by our Vicar Tim the team includes many volunteers who serve and support faithfully across many areas of the church community.
Meet some of our team below and please say hello when you visit us.

Associate Priest – The Reverend Val Billings
