God loves young people. It’s personal.
That’s why we believe it’s important to keep relationship at the heart of everything we do.
It’s our core value and underpins our vision as we seek to build:
-
- Our relationships with young people
- The young people’s relationships with each other
- Strong relationships in the life of our local community
- Their relationships with their Father, God

If your young person is new to the group, please complete our online Parent/Guardian consent & medical permissions form.

Meet the Team
Adrian
Youth Pastor
Adrian joined us here at Millmead in May 2022. Bringing over 30 years of Youth work experience, Adrian has worked in many roles from church-based work to statutory Youth services and charity-based Youth services. Originally from Scunthorpe (but don’t hold that against him!), Adrian trained as a Hydraulic Engineer but always felt Youth work was where he was meant to be. After meeting his wife, Rachel, at Uni in Cambridge, God called him into Youth work full-time through studying Youth Work & Theology in Oxford. He’s now here to share his experiences and strengthen our already well-established team.
In his free time, he loves walking with Rachel and his two dogs, Monty and Doodle.
Abby
Youth Worker & Social Media Lead
Abby has been a part of Millmead since 2016 when she moved to Guildford to complete her 3-year placement for her Theology & Youth Ministry degree at St Mellitus College, London. Before that, she grew up in Crawley and studied Education Studies at the University of Winchester, but felt called into Youth work before going into her final year. After her Theology & Youth Ministry studies, she stayed on as our Youth Worker and has seen Millmead’s Youth Ministry go through many different seasons and changes!
In her free time, she likes to be with her family and friends, Irish Dancing, and you can always make her happy with a Wagamama!
