Our People

I started my adventure here as Minister back in September 2007 having spent four years as a curate in an inner-city Anglican church in Bradford. Prior to that I used to work in international development.

I’m married to Jo, who originally trained and worked in London as a textile designer, then became full-time mum to our three, now grown up children and now works in children’s social care.

As a family we’ve lived in Zimbabwe, Uganda and Tanzania. Life has been wonderfully varied! I became a Christian in Zimbabwe when I was 19 and have been involved in a variety of churches over the years from house churches and Anglican cell churches in the UK, to the Anglican Cathedral in Kampala and the International Baptist Church in Dar es Salaam.

I studied Anthropology and Development Studies at Swansea and Sussex universities and theology at Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford. I used to love long distance running and tennis but arthritis has got the better of my hips so now I mainly road bike and swim. I also have a great love for the outdoors.

I am from Reading and have been part of the team at Trinity since 2018. Coming from Youth With A Mission I was first our Youth Worker. Now married with a daughter and ‘associated’ with more of what we do here, I would say my time at Trinity has been completely life-changing! I love working with a local charity- Just Around the Corner – in our local school, plotting silly games and encouraging people just how fully Jesus loves them!

I was born, raised and educated in Hong Kong. After marriage, I supported my husband The Revd Paul Lau in serving in the church. In 1994, my family went to serve in the Wellington Church in New Zealand. In 2001, I settled in the UK and continued service at St Martin in the Fields in London where my husband was the Associate Minister for the Chinese community until his retirement in 2019.

I taught as a primary school teacher in Hong Kong for more than 10 years then worked in the community in New Zealand for several years. After coming to the UK, my next job was in The Community Centre located at St Martin in the Fields where I went on to become the Co-ordinator, mainly planning and implementing a range of activities.

I received Theological education and pastoral training at St Mellitus College in London. I was ordained in 2016 and became the curate at St James the Less Pimlico. Since graduation, I have served as a Self-Supporting Minister in this church until the present. During this period, I also assisted several Chinese churches in developing their ministries.

Paul and I have two children, a daughter-in-law, and two lovely grandchildren. I am particularly committed to pastoral care and the marriage gospel.

我出生於香港，長大及受教育於香港，婚後支持丈夫劉周勝牧師在教會事奉，又於1994年一家到新西蘭威靈頓教會服侍，於2001年來英國定居，繼續與丈夫並肩在倫敦聖馬田堂事奉，直至2019年丈夫退休。

我在香港曾任小學教席10多年，於新西蘭服務社區數年，來英後在社區中心工作，後任協調主任至今，主要策劃及推行各種活動。

我在倫敦St Mellitus College 接受神學教育及牧職訓練，於2016年按立，在St James the Less Pimlico 實習，畢業後在該堂任義務助理直至現在，期間更協助多間華人教會發展事工。

我與劉牧師有兩名兒女、兒媳及兩名可愛的孫兒和孫女。我對牧養及婚姻福音尤其有承擔。
