The Ahavah Team

Meet The Team

At Ahavah we have a diverse leadership team and bring different talents and giftings to the community. We are committed to ongoing learning and growth as leaders, but most of all growth in who we are called to be as Sons and Daughters of our Father in Heaven.

Hello! I am James and I live in the Rushmere area of Ipswich with my wife Stephanie and two boys. I work within the local community in a school. One of my greatest passions is a love of all spicy foods and unwavering support of my football team (who cannot be mentioned in the area of Ipswich!)

As I have grown in my own faith, I have found that Jesus gives us our identities. We come alive in him. How does that work and what does that mean? My passion is to discover that more for myself and to help others do the same.

Hi I am Stephanie and part of the leadership team of Ahavah. I am married to James, and Mum to two boys. I'm originally from the USA but have found the UK much more suitable to my tea drinking habit!I live and work in the local Rushmere community and in my spare time and I love to crochet and spend time with friends and family.

Hi, my name is Sarah. I've lived in Rushmere with my husband Chris for nearly 25 years and we raised our three children here. Raising a family is an ongoing journey and there can be many bumps along the way!!

Since having children of my own I changed careers to work in family support and now run a local Christian Charity Family First. I love spending time with my large family - both biological and my Ahavah family and also enjoy reading and music.

My ethos is, if we were all the same, it would be a very boring world. I long to see our community grow and look forward to welcoming all comers. Jesus loves you whoever you are.

Hi my name is Lynda and I am one of the leaders in Ahavah. I am married to Nick and we

have three children and seven grandchildren. I retired from the business but don't think I am

less busy.

I am passionate about Jesus and seeing people find out the truth about Him which

is pretty spectacular. I love teaching in the community we serve and just being who God wants me to be and I look forward to meeting you .

Hello, My name is Nick and I am also one of the leaders in Ahavah. Lynda has shared

the family stuff and I am definitely not retired. We run a gardening business together with our

daughter Claire and are busy with that.

My passion is to see people really understand the gospel message Jesus gave us through the Word and the Spirit. And for them to feel accepted and loved.
