Our Structure
Accountability
We believe a healthy church needs both internal and external accountability, just like the first New Testament churches. That’s why we have a non-executive board internally, and external accountability through our Diocese and church network.
Leadership
We are governed according to New Testament principles of leadership. This means we seek to lead gently, humbly and accessibly, in a down-to-earth manner and with servant heart.
Network
The Vintage Network is a network of local congregations with strong Anglican affiliations and closely linked with Holy Trinity Brompton, London. Ben is ordained through the Anglican Church and as a church we are under the oversight of Bishop Jeff Bailey of the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA).
Board of Directors
Our lay board members for 2026:
Greg Soohoo (Chairperson), Jessica Kao, Alyssa Valenzuela, Kirby Repko, Robyn Coates, Seth Willey, Antoine Legault, Kirsty Bortnik, Tess Sisay, Karen Gilmour.
