Meet the Team

  • Ben Strain

    Vicar

    Ben is married to Lydia and they have three children: Tilly, Bea and Freddie. He has particular responsibility for leadership development, vision and teaching the Bible. He loves helping people encounter God’s love and grow as passionate disciples of Jesus.

    For fun (or sometimes torture) he follows the England Cricket Team and Chelsea FC.

  • Rebecca Hart

    Children and Families Pastor

    Rebecca is married to Sam, they live in Dulwich with their two kids. Rebecca is the Children and Families Pastor and is responsible for the development of this ministry area which involves outreach into the local community and schools as well as working with families who are already part of HT.

    Rebecca hopes to build relationships with HT families and the local community through events like Mossy Church. Rebecca has a very sweet tooth so tries to convince herself that she enjoys running as much as she loves eating cake whilst reading!

  • Grace Consterdine

    Youth and Community Worker

    Blurb coming soon….

  • Lydia Strain

    Assistant/Co Pastor

    Lydia is a voluntary pastor and helps lead the church with Ben. She spends most of her week working as a hospital doctor. In church ministry she is particularly passionate about seeing women encounter the Holy Spirit - finding freedom and wholeness.

    The things that bring her life include running and cooking. Though not normally at the same time!

  • Tijen Erkas

    Operations Manager

    Tijen grew up in a Muslim household and met Jesus in a dream. As Operations Manager Tijen oversees all administrative tasks. However, her role extends beyond logistics; her true passion lies in helping individuals who have suffered mistreatment.

    Tijen's dedication to her morning frothy coffee routine has made her the subject of jokes among her colleagues. She is passionate about hospitality and hopes to remind everyone around her that sometimes small acts of kindness can make the biggest difference.
