Our Church Leaders

Picture of Andy and Louise WilliamsAndy & Louise Williams

Andy has been vicar of St Andrew's since December 2008. He is married to Louise and they share two daughters, Becca and Hannah. He has a passion for seeing people come into a living relationship with Jesus and encouraging and releasing people into using their God given gifts. When not at work he enjoys photography, steam locomotives, sci fi and all things Apple! He has a weakness for chocolate: bars, puddings .....


Louise is Andy's right hand woman and diamond girl. Louise has a heart for women's ministry and loves to sing and lead worship. When not at work as a Connexions PA or busy baking all things chocolate for Andy, Louise likes to relax with a frothy cappuccino and a good book and cannot understand why she seems to be one of the few people at St Andrew's who doesn't like Dr Who.
