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.
Nigel Beynon
MINISTER
Nigel became a Christian at 16 as he heard about the grace and forgiveness Jesus offers. He is married to Jo and together they have four children. Between 2007 and 2024 he was the director of Word Alive and before that was a minister at St Helens, Bishopsgate. In September 2024, Nigel Beynon joined Trinity Church Islington as the Minister.
Jonathan Wolstenholme
MINISTER IN TRAINING
Jonathan grew up in London and is thankful for parents who helped him hear about Jesus from an early age. As a teenager, he recognised his need for God’s rescue more clearly through youth groups and summer camps. At university he loved getting involved in Christian ministry and has had the privilege of serving in it full time ever since. He’s married to Lizzy, a doctor specialising in psychiatry, and they’re excited to be welcoming their first child soon. Jonathan enjoys baking, singing in choirs, playing board games, and running (you’ll usually find him at parkrun!). He joined Trinity in August 2025 as Minister in Training and is completing his studies at the Proclamation Trust’s Leaders’ Training Course.
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. She studied on the Cornhill Training Course and spent over 10 years working full time for Trinity as the Women’s Worker. She now splits her working week between women’s ministry for Trinity and also for the Proclamation Trust.
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.
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.
William Adams
LEADERSHIP TEAM (ELDER)
Will first started attending Trinity Church Islington in early 2010 shortly after moving to London for a new job. Since then he has become increasingly involved in church life and can look back on many happy years of bible study and fellowship as part of the church family at Trinity. Will was brought up in a Christian home and in God’s kindness came to faith at a young age. His understanding and affection for God's Word grew during his time at university under the faithful gospel preaching of Central Baptist Church in Dundee. Will lives in Highbury and is an architect by profession. Outside work, he enjoys playing golf and regular visits back home to Ireland.
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.
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).
