Curate
James and Becca love living in Ashton, which after nearly 20 years is definitely feeling like home. They’ve been at St Andrew’s since 2011 and are so excited by all that God is doing to grow the church family. James loves all sports, playing or watching, reading and exploring the Lakeland Fells.   Phil is married to Innes and they have four energetic children. He spent his first 18 years in the Channel Islands before moving to London for university, where he grew in his knowledge and love of Jesus.
After university, Phil worked as an engineering project manager for a few years before spending six years working for a church in central London. He then completed his theological training at Oak Hill College before moving north to Preston to join St Andrew's.
Phil loves running, cycling, Liverpool FC and walks in the countryside

Craig Lavender

Churchwarden
Dave is married to Jess and has two children, Pippa and Toby. Originally from a small village in the Brecon Beacons, he moved to Preston in 2010 and works locally as an engineer. Although he grew up in a Christian home, it wasn't until he was 18 that he realised he needed Jesus as his saviour and was baptised in a freezing Welsh river! He loves being part of the St Andrew's church family, and seeing people grow in their love of Jesus. Outside of church, Dave enjoys walking and climbing, good food, fine ales and (like every good Welshman) he lives and dies with the Welsh rugby team!   Craig and Angela have been attending St Andrews since 2021, and have three children and three grandchildren. Craig and Angela both come originally from Sheffield but crossed the border into Lancashire in 1986, and apart from a brief few years in Austria, have remained here. Craig loves walking, especially in the mountains, and generally any sport, unfortunately mostly watching these days rather than playing.
