Revd Keith Turner
Associate Minister
Having worked in a bank for over 25 years and been in licensed ministry, both lay and ordained, for over 30 years I have quite a bit of experience working amongst people from all walks of life. I now share my ministry with my lovely wife Ruth and one of our great joys together is to see people come to faith in Jesus and find wholeness and freedom through him. We also have the pleasure of three children who are all growing in faith and two grandsons.

“This is an exciting time to be involved at CoGS with the fantastic opportunity of deploying the resources God has blessed us with in creating and sustaining an environment of worship where people of all ages and walks of life are empowered to live out God’s Kingdom values where they live, work and play.”
Yvonne Johnson
Churchwarden
I feel that the Love of God which is bestowed on me I can pass on to people I come across in my everyday life, and most importantly to my brothers and sisters of the Church of the Good Shepherd. I have a passion to help people as much as I can.
My love for hospitality goes a long way as I am committed to working with people. I know God has called me to this role and I will endeavour to fulfil his duties to the best of my ability with God’s Blessings.
Ruth Turner
Pastoral Assistant & Parish Coordinator
My passion is pastoral care in all its forms whether visiting, praying for healing and wholeness or simply giving practical help.
In all I do I look to God for wisdom and insight, whilst serving with a grateful heart here at the Good Shepherd.
Emma Hills
Children & Families Worker
I have worked with children and whole families for over 20 years within a local authority. Part of my work included supporting children with additional needs and their families. I have two children of my own, one of which also has additional needs. My personal and professional experience has developed my passion for helping children and their families to feel supported and included within the life of the church. I feel the Lord has led me to this role and I’m excited to help develop and nurture the faith of the children here at CoGS.
Lesley Judd
Parish Safeguarding Officer
I have been a member of CoGS for many years and I am pleased to now serve as the Parish Safeguarding Officer. I worked in the caring professions, first in dentistry and then as a counsellor / psychotherapist. Within these roles I believe God gave me the gift of caring and showing His love to those I worked with.It was important that they felt safe and secure and were treated with confidentiality and I will seek to do the same as the PSO. Prayer and listening to God has always been important to me and undergirds all that I do. I pray that God will guide me and give me wisdom in this role.
