At St Paul's we want to take this opportunity of welcoming you all to our church, so we can praise God as we go on the next part of our faith journey together.

Appointment of New Chaplain at inSpire

We are pleased to announce that the Bishop of Barking has appointed Rev. Christiana Asinugo as the new co-ordinating Chaplain at Westfield Stratford City and Associate Minister of St Matthew's Church West Ham.

Christiana is currently Curate at St Mary's Church Dagenham. She is no stranger to this area, having lived in Stratford and worshipped at St John's Church for many years, prior to her Ordination in 2009.

Before ordination, Christiana was a midwife. She is married to Emeka and has 4 grown-up children.

The Bishop of Barking will License Christiana at St Matthew's Church on 14th March 2013. This is a 2-year appointment, initially, while Christiana works with Rev. David Richards, and the members of St Matthew's, to explore future options for ministry at St Matthew's.
