Meet the team
For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

Peter
Peter leads our SuperTots group and serves the church leadership. Born in Birmingham he has had an incredible life, living all over the world, yet he still has a love for the “Villa”. Peter is a big man with a bigger heart, it is his desire to see children released in play, and to connect with mothers, fathers and other carers.
