Pastors
The pastors of the church are a seasoned couple, Rev Dr Curdell McLeod and Pastor Herby McLeod. Originally from Jamaica, both came to Britain in the 1950s. They have four children and five grandchildren.
In the 1970s they pioneered a Homework Study Centre, facilitating after-school supplementary teaching for local underachieving and underprivileged children to help them reach their goals.
Curdell has worked in the Civil Service and in Education for many years, seeking change on issues of race and gender. In 1992 Curdell left her job as Deputy Principal of a Further Education College in order to enter full-time Christian ministry. She has been involved in Pastoral Ministry since 1988, Radio Ministry through London’s Premier Christian Radio, a TV series called The Living Word on Sky TV Channel 173 – HCN, and teaching in both Hampstead Bible College and South London Christian College. She has a valid international ministry and an apostolic mandate to reach the world. In recent years, she has a regular magazine feature called Living Faith in Keep the Faith magazine, Britain's leading publication for black faith.
Herby has devoted his working life as a highly-skilled motor mechanic, and served London Transport for 20 years. He has been very actively involved in every aspect of the ministry alongside his wife since 1988.
