Our leadership

Ken spent twenty years in the international food, commodities and agricultural business, before leaving to become Pastor of Chase Family Church in 1980. The church had started in 1968, and Ken and his wife Barbara were founder members. Ken has travelled extensively in ministry and believes in encouraging the church's responsibility for mission. He's also a firm believer in team ministry, having drawn others into leadership very early on in the life of the church. Ken and Barbara have three grown-up children and seven grandchildren.

Martin is our senior pastor. He joined the church in 1995, having been National Director of CIB (Christians in Business). Martin and his wife Liz felt called to take on the youth work, which they named Firestorm. In 2009 Martin became an elder of Chase Family Church, and in 2012 became full time after 24 years running his own business in recruitment. Martin has a passion for the lost and to see people baptised in the Holy Spirit.

Peter has been part of Chase Family Church since he was born. After almost five years as a trainee elder, he was commissioned as an elder in 2014. Peter has a law degree and has worked in the private, public and voluntary sector, and currently works as an Executive Officer in the Methodist Church. He has a passion for the Word of God to impact and transform people’s lives. In September 2017 Peter married Suz, who is now on staff.

Kev joined the church in the summer of 2021. He was born in Enfield and moved away for sixteen years before returning. Kev joined the team as Children's Pastor, and also oversees all the technical elements of the church, including our live broadcasts.

Dan has been part of Chase Family Church since he was just two years old, making this community a foundational part of his life for as long as he can remember. Professionally, both Dan and his wife Katy are teachers, a calling that reflects their shared heart for guiding and supporting others. Together they are raising a young family and are passionate about seeing the church continue to be a place where families and individuals of all ages can grow deep roots in their relationship with God.

Peter first came into contact with Chase Family Church as a teenager, through a youth discipleship course run by n:flame, where he later worked with young people throughout his twenties. Peter has been a musician since he was a child and has led worship in many different church settings since being a teenager. He is currently developing his own music as an artist, producer and music teacher, while helping develop the worship team at Chase.

Liz is married to Martin and has been at the church for many years. Liz looks after the church's accounts and some admin, including leading our safeguarding team.

Suz runs our Encounter year-out programme, and also supports lots of other areas of Chase Family Church through administration and practical means, particularly helping with the Engage Schools ministry. Suz joined the church in 2017 when she married Peter, moving from Wokingham in Berkshire where she was Family and Youth Pastor at an Anglican church.

Andie grew up on the Kent coast before moving to North London to train as a youth worker. He was part of n:flame from its inception, working with churches across North London to help them disciple young people and equip them for mission. With his wife Sue, he spent five years living and serving at an evangelical school in Lebanon. They are now based in North London again, where Andie supports and builds Chase’s mission work, locally and abroad, and leads Engage, a cross-church team of volunteers working in secondary schools across Enfield.

Mick and his wife Mary joined the church in 1974, and Mick served as an Elder and Children’s Pastor for many years after a career in industrial sales. He retired in July 2014 and moved to Reading, where he and Mary are active members of Reading Family Church. Mick was delighted to be asked to retain his trusteeship when he moved, and feels honoured to be allowed to serve.

Helen was involved in a house church for 20 years, based in her own home, where she learned from the Lord about loving and serving. She joined Chase Family Church in 2014 and quickly knew that this is where she belonged.
