Meet Our Team

Rev'd Wil North

Rector St Margaret's

I have been the Rector of St Margaret's since January 2013, having previously been in Farnborough Hampshire and Nottingham.

The role of the parish priest is diverse, I have the privilege of coming alongside families and serving them at key stages in life (Birth / Marriage / Death).

I am actively involved with Barming Primary School and I am Chair of Governors.

My vision for St Margaret's is one of growth. Where the church continues to grow as a loving community with Jesus at the centre. Personally in ministry I have three clear passions.

1) Is to help people meet with Jesus in a real and relevant way.

2) Is to help people engage with God's word the bible.

3) To help people recognise their God given talents and to use them in the service of his kingdom.

Beyond the parish boundaries of St Margaret's I have other roles in Rochester Diocese. I am the Malling Area Dean, Lead Vocations Advisor for Tonbridge Archdeaconry and also Rochester Diocese Sports Ambassador.

On a personal level, beyond the collar, I'm a keen runner, regularly play football, always have a book on the go and enjoy spending time with my family.
