who's who

In line with our commitment to equip and release every individual church member into their God-given potential and roles, many different people serve in one leadership capacity or another:

Our overall Church Leader / Senior Pastor is Rod Stone.                     

Rod is a Southampton University Law Graduate who was a partner in a firm of solicitors before entering into full-time church leadership in 1994. He is married to Mandy and they have 4 children. Rod oversaw the planting of icc in January 2005 and currently has overall responsibility for the direction and operation of the church.

The vision is progressively to develop a central church leadership team. In the meantime, Rod is supported and assisted by various individuals and groups, including the following (all groups being informal, flexible and in course of development):

  • preaching, teaching & training team
  • admin / financial management team - headed up by icc's Board of Directors / Charity Trustees - with Brian Freed as treasurer and Jan Barton handling general day-to-day admin
  • pastoral team - which includes all of our community group leaders.
  • outreach team
  • worship team - led and co-ordinated by Michael Redmon             
  • youthwork & children's work team
  • arts & publicity team
