Emily Brocken
Staff
Emily is the administrator for 9:38. When she’s not working in this role, she’s wife to Liam and a busy mum to their three young children: Ollie, Daniel and Lydia. She also works as a languages tutor and GCSE examiner. Emily attends Christ Church Southampton and has very much enjoyed being part of the church family there since her student days many years ago! If she ever gets the chance to relax, she loves to read a book and sit by the sea. She dreams of being able to travel abroad again at some point in the future!

Mark Murthen
Trustee
Mark is originally from North London and very happy to be serving as Associate Vicar of St James Muswell Hill. He has previously worked in churches in Bolton (Greater Manchester) and West London, where he was a ministry trainee. Mark has worshipped in a variety of different churches and believes God has used those experiences to help him relate to different people. He is passionate about growing ethnic and socio-economic diversity in our churches and amongst those considering gospel ministry. He is husband to Lisa and father to two children who love his tandoori chicken and attempts to play various musical instruments.
Lizzy Smallwood
Trustee
Lizzy spends her time being a Pastor’s wife, mum, & part time school teacher and Bible teacher at Women’s events at home and abroad. There was a rumour going around that she is an author but one chapter in one book probably doesn’t count…
She is married to Simon. They have three children: Sam, Ailie and Beatrice. For 23 years they were doing Gospel ministry in a church in Dagenham, Essex. But in the summer of 2019 that changed as Simon became the Pastor of a tiny Christian Community Church in Bodmin, Cornwall. Simon & Lizzy hope to be part of a small network of evangelical churches looking, by God’s grace, to re evangelize Cornwall.
At present her favourite way to relax is with a good book and a cup of tea. She may learn to surf and start painting again now she lives in Cornwall. However, no one is holding their breath…
