Meet the team: Kate Peacock joined the Leading your Church into Growth team about a year ago. Find out more about our new team member!

What do you do as your day job?
Church Growth Officer for St Albans Diocese

Describe a key life moment where your faith became more real:
Aged 14 I was asked ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’ My reply, which was as much a surprise to me as it was to my grandparents and parents, ‘I want to be a vicar’. My heart was full and this pearl of great price was lodged in my soul. From that moment I began attending church, was confirmed and at 24 ordained. My vocation has changed and been challenged over time but in Christ is a well of joy and love.

What major event has happened for you this year?
On holiday in Italy last year we visited Leonardo’s The Last Supper. It was awesome and I burst into tears. ‘One of you will be betray me’. Heartbreaking.

What do you love to do in your spare time?
Exercise and cook so one corrects the other.

Which animal best describes you and why?

Kinda obvious – Peacock. I cant sing or fly, but I am a firm believer in beauty and presence.
