At Sutton Vineyard we love welcoming new members of our team, and in March we get to do just that!
Sophie has joined us as our new Kids Co-Ordinator. She will be supporting our Kids ministry, helping to develop our young people’s faith and development alongside Kids & Families Pastor Lily!
We sat down with Sophie to find out more about her, and what she’s most excited about in her new role:
Tell us a bit about yourself!
I’m Sophie, and i’ve joined the Sutton Vineyard team as Kids Co-Ordinator!
I’ve been a member of the Sutton Vineyard family for 7 years now, and was baptised here in 2023. I’ve been a volunteer on our Kids Sunday ministry for 3 years, which helped to spark my interest in this new role. I’m also a part of the Youth team, as well as Youth Friday Night once a month!
What will you be focusing on in your new role?
As Kids Co-Ordinator I will be supporting our Children’s and Families Pastor Lily in the running of the weekly curriculum delivered on a Sunday. This includes ongoing communication with the Kids team, prepping resources, administration tasks and planning and organising events within the church calendar.
What inspired you about this role?
The enjoyment I gained through volunteering once a week and how refreshing it is to come in and do something completely different to my other job. I also like the idea of combining my work and my faith as I believe it will strengthen it.
What are you most excited about in your new role at Sutton Vineyard?
I can’t wait to work alongside Lily, bouncing ideas off each other and creating new and exciting ways to develop the Kids ministry. I am excited about extending the table and opening up opportunities for families to experience what church is about and encouraging them to come along to our services and events.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I have been dancing for most of my life and I am specifically trained in Classical Ballet but take part in other dance styles also.
I love a DIY craft kit and enjoy making things, including knitting, crochet, and painting.
We can’t wait to see Sophie develop further as part of the Sutton Vineyard team. If you have any encouragements for Sophie feel free to drop us an email at kids@suttonvineyard.org!
