Our Teams

Meet the members of our church teams

Ministry Team

Our church is currently led by a “Priest-in-Charge” rather than a “Rector”. This is because the Newport Deanery (of which Olney is a part) is being reorganised and the parish will at some point in the next couple of years become part of a new Benefice of Ouse Valley North. At the moment we have a vacancy for our Priest-in-Charge, and we hope that a new person will join our team in 2025.

We currently have a Curate as part of the clergy team, and our regular clergy are supported by retired priests, Licensed Lay Ministers (LLMs, also known as Readers) and Authorised Preachers.
