Who we are

Fr Joshua grew up in Bedfordshire and after school trained and had a career as a pilot before discerning a call to be a priest.He trained for ordination at the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield, and was ordained deacon in 2023 and priest in 2024. In his spare time, Fr Joshua enjoys music and sings in the Royal Choral Society. He has a particular passion for musical prayer in worship. He also enjoys hiking, skiing, theatre, making good food, and gardening with the help of his trusty cat Henry.

The vibrant community of worshippers at St. Andrew’s Kingsbury first elected me as Churchwarden in 2011 and each subsequent year since. Together we have worked tirelessly to ensure that our church remains relevant to this generation and the community it serves. We are committed to ensuring that the beautiful building in which we worship remains as imposing and as impressive as ever for future generations to come.

It is a profound privilege and honour to be elected as a Church Warden at St Andrew’s, Kingsbury.

With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, look forward to serve God and this parish with faithfulness and devotion, so we grow ever deeper in faith, stronger in unity, and richer in love through Christ, as we extend His grace and love to the wider community.
