The Team

Murray Hepburn

Murray is a licensed lay minister in our neighbouring parish of St. Michael’s, Stoke Gifford, but has been seconded from there to support our ministry during the incumbent vacancy. He has assisted by leading services and preaching. He is married to Annie, who has a ministry as a spiritual director and has also played an active part in involvement with Christ the King during this period, not least as part of the music group. Murray currently works full-time as an engineer but is due to retire later this year.

 Steve Smith 

Steve is ordained with PTO and was the first vicar of Christ the King, but retired from that role on health grounds. Steve and his wife Liz then left Christ the King but returned at the invitation of the then vicar when their son was diagnosed with leukaemia. Before he retired, Steve worked part time for 11 years as volunteer coordinator for what became inHope, a charity supporting homeless and other disadvantaged people.
