Meet the team
Beth and Luke lead St Paul’s Carlton together. They moved to Nottingham in 2022 when Beth was ordained, as a curate at Trinity Church Nottingham.
They love helping people discover the joy of life spent with Jesus Christ. They’ve been involved in church revitalisations throughout their ministry, with a deep sense of a move of God in this next generation.
Their other passions are coffee, food and secondhand clothes, so on their day off you’ll either find them out in a café or trawling charity shops for their next bargain.
They have two beautiful daughters and a crazy cockapoo, and are forever trying to tire them all out.
