Alex Rayment

Church Leader

Alex is responsible for the spiritual and pastoral needs of the church. He has a passion to see your best mates who don't yet come to church find family and life in all its fullness here. You may recognise Alex from TV's Countdown, he did so badly that his score has gone down in history.

Jonty Forster

Associate Church Leader

Jonty has oversight of Groups at Penny Lane Church. He is also involved in our Prisons Ministry and would love to help you get more connected to church life. All though born and bred in Liverpool, he is a keen Wigan Athletic fan so if you want to chat about Division 1 football, Jonty is your guy!

Levi Freed

Trainee Church Planter

Levi looks after our Tuesday Lunchtime Service, oversees prayer and has a passion for building community here at church. Levi felt a call to move to the North West whilst training at theological college in Bristol. He was in the army and now spends most of his free time training, or running really, really long distances. Join him on a Thursday Run Club and ask him how he fits it all in!
