Our Team

Churches are places where every believer has a part to play in church family life. Within that, though, we have a staff and a leadership team able to give more time to looking after God's people.

Jeremy Hobson

Minister

As a teenager, Jeremy knew that there was something different about Christians, and took advantage of a seemingly too-good-to-be-true offer of forgiveness through Jesus. Coming up to medical school in London, he met other Christians who showed him what it was like to take God seriously. He retrained for ministry at a Oak Hill in North London, close to the hospital where he used to work. Now married with teenage kids, he's amazed that his day job involves teaching the same Bible about which he was once so skeptical.

Madhush Mathews

Curate

Madhush committed to following Jesus as a young adult. He was attracted by the love of a group of Christian students who helped him encounter Jesus in Mark’s Gospel. He is continuing to discover the depths of God’s love for his people in Jesus. Having trained for ministry at George Whitefield College in Cape Town, he ministered at a vibrant and diverse Johannesburg church before relocating to London to train further at Oak Hill College. He’s married with 2 young children and, when not playing lego or “families” with his kids, enjoys good conversation around delicious food.

Adam Rice

Leadership Team

Adam is an employment lawyer at a city law firm. Originally from Australia, he came to London over 10 years ago for a short “working holiday” and has stayed ever since. Although not from a Christian background, Adam became a Christian in his mid thirties shortly after joining Trinity. Outside of church, Adam loves watching and playing tennis, skiing, travel (when possible), swimming and spending time with friends (usually over a bbq, brunch or some other food related activity).

Ben Fidler

Leadership Team (Elder)

Ben has been at Trinity since it planted in 2007. He has been living in London for over 25 years, working for many years in the City and now works for an aerospace company. He is Jewish by birth and had a traditional Jewish upbringing. Ben became a Christian while at University, after spending time working through the bible and understanding how Jesus so perfectly fulfilled many Old Testament promises about the Messiah. Ben lives locally in Islington and is married to Deborah. They have two sons, Joshua and Daniel and a cat called Spooky.  When not working, Ben enjoys precious time with Deborah and the boys, time with wider family and friends, and has a keen interest in historic racing cars.

Kirsten Guthrie

Women's Worker

Kirsten was privileged to grow up in a Christian home and decided to trust her life to Jesus at a summer camp. She's grateful for God’s patience over the years as she gets to grips with what it means to trust Jesus each day. Having spent 10 years researching everything from cars to cats to consumer trends, she studied at the Cornhill course, while being an apprentice at Trinity. Now she has the joy of spending her time sharing Jesus, supporting and training women at Trinity and beyond.

Sophie Golden

Leadership Team

Part of the original plant from St Helen’s Bishopsgate, Sophie is a cancer nurse who came to London for university and hasn’t left. When not being a nurse, if that can be the case, she enjoys singing, babysitting, playing board games, watching films and spending time with friends. She became a Christian at the age of 15 having been asked by a friend to go to a youth weekend away, and being taught the gospel at the church over a period of time. That was over 20 years ago now and she is incredibly thankful to the Lord for keeping her and growing her trust in him over that time.

John Moody

Leadership Team (Elder)

Whilst he grew up and developed faith in a Christian family, prodigal teens and 20’s led John to recommit to the Lord in his late 20’s once it became clear that he was sinful and there was nothing he alone could do about it. Learning of the Lord’s wondrous grace has put being a husband, father, elder, lawyer and musician into biblical context. Born in Hampstead, he’s lived in Islington for over 25 years, married for nearly 20 of them and with two teenagers to show for it.

TCHERN LENN

Leadership Team (Elder)

Tchern is one of the original planters of Trinity Church Islington. He grew up in Singapore attending Grace Baptist Church where he was baptised at 13. After national service, he moved to the UK to do a biology degree which led to a PhD and a career as a biologist and microscopist that took him to the US for a few years. Though away from his birthplace since 21, he has been at home with the Lord's global family, also enjoying fellowship with Eden Baptist Church in Cambridge, where he was a Church Assistant for a year, and Berkeley Covenant Church in California. He has now made his home in London with his wife, Sarah, and son, Isaac. He would like to regain the climbing ability he had while living in California but hopes of perfecting his beef rendang and pandan chiffon cake recipes are more realistic.
