If you want to meet the people of Holy Trinity, then come along on a Sunday morning at 10! The church is ALL of us. Church is not something you consume, it’s something you are. We all have something to give and something to receive. Come and one of the people.
Having said that, in practical terms, there are some among us that you will probably see more of, and who have specific roles that you might be interested in. We have four members of staff, two Churchwardens, and a Parochial Church Council (PCC). You can find out more about them below.
But please remember, the church is everyone…
Vicar: The Revd Canon Joshua Rey
Joshua has been Vicar of Roehampton since September 2020. He lives just over the road from the Church with his wife Annie and their son Paddy. He thinks being a Vicar ‘beats working for a living’ because it mostly involves doing things he enjoys – praying, helping people get together for good purposes, being with people young and old in good times and bad, and living as part of the wider community.
Besides that, he likes hill walking, rowing, reading, teaching, and spending time with family and friends. He can also sometimes be found running on Putney Heath and Wimbledon Common, or in the gym at Laverstoke Gardens. Before coming to Roehampton he was Chaplain to the Bishop of Southwark, and in 2026 he was made an Honorary Canon of Southwark Cathedral. He is the author of a book on silent prayer, A Season of Silence. Before he was a Priest he was a banker, an aid worker and a civil servant.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Joshua on vicar@holytrinityroehampton.org.
Children and Families Leader: Kumba Ngegba
Kumba is a former pastoral assistant, youth worker, and teaching assistant, with a passion for supporting young people both spiritually and academically. After several years working in schools across London, she was previously rooted at St John the Divine, Kennington, where she helped lead programmes centered around youth engagement.
Alongside her work at the church, Kumba draws on her background in classroom support, having worked closely with primary school students at St John the Divine Primary School, where she supported lesson delivery, led small-group activities, and provided tailored help to children who needed extra academic guidance.
Kumba is passionate about building strong relationships with young people, offering a listening ear, and creating safe, joyful spaces for growth. Her time working in both educational and faith-based settings has sharpened her ability to lead with patience and care, skills she continues to develop as she seeks new opportunities to make a difference.
Kumba is always glad to hear from families with children who want to get involved in church, and anyone who is willing to help out with this ministry – please email kumba@holytrinityroehampton.org.
Director of Music: Joe Waymouth
Joe is a conductor, composer, multi-instrumentalist and teacher, recently graduated from LMH, Oxford, as an organ scholar. Restarting his life in London after a 4-year Oxford hiatus, Joe is excited to shape a community of choral music making at Holy Trinity, energising the young and old as they spring into musical action.
Alongside his work at Holy Trinity, Joe works at Tiffin School in Kingston in both the Music and Drama departments while continuing his musicmaking as a freelance, composing and gigging in the genres of jazz, funk, classical and choral while musical directing too.
Prior to this, Joe spent the year following his degree working at Magdalen College School in Oxford, working closely with the students in their composing and ensemble playing. This also afforded him the opportunity to orchestrate and co-compose the rock musical: ‘The Odyssiad’ performed at the Oxford Playhouse by the students of Magdalen College School.
To contact Joe about any and all things musical at HTR please drop him an email on music@holytrinityroehampton.org.
Special Projects Adviser: The Revd James Hutchings
James spent the first half of his working life in secular employment, before being ordained in 2006. Having worked in banking initially, he led a cross-party parliamentary body in the aftermath of the fall of communism, and then worked in the voluntary sector, latterly as a regional director of the Shaw Trust, helping disabled people into employment. Funding projects was a big part of these roles, and while training for ministry James was a self-employed fundraiser for a number of London charities.
James is a lifelong Anglican and worshipped before ordination at St Leonard’s, Streatham, and St Mary’s, Twickenham. He was a curate at St James, Exeter, and then worked for the Diocese of Exeter as Mission Resources Adviser, helping churches with giving and mission. He was the Team Rector of the Exmouth Coastal Churches 2011-19, before becoming Barnes Team Rector and Vicar of St Mary’s Barnes, 2019- 2024. James is married to Alice, has 3 adult children, and a spaniel called Maple.
James says that his new role at Holy Trinity as Project Development Adviser brings together all the different parts of his working life. James has enjoyed officiating previously on a couple of occasions at Holy Trinity and is looking forward to getting to know the congregation and local community better and hoping to contribute to the flourishing of Holy Trinity as the parish church of Roehampton. You can contact James on projects@holytrinityroehampton.org.
Churchwardens:
Our Churchwardens are Lynne Capocciama and Ali Angus (who is also one of our Deanery Synod representatives and Lay Chair of Wandsworth Deanery).
Wardens are elected annually (see here for the obligatory Visitation Selfie with the Archdeacon and Registrar, the evening they were sworn in) to an ancient and significant office, possibly the oldest elected office in the world open to women.
Their role, according to the Canons is to be “foremost in representing the laity and in co-operating with the incumbent” and “to encourage the parishioners in the practice of true religion and to promote unity and peace among them.”
PCC:
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) are the trustees of the charitable entity that, for legal purposes, Holy Trinity is. They are responsible for issuing the annual report and making decisions about the practicalities of running the church day to day and year to year, and for the work involved.
The Vicar chairs the PCC and the Churchwardens are ex officio members. Other members are elected (or appointed in the case of Readers) at the annual meeting in May. Members can also be co-opted at any time of the year.
Our elected and appointed PCC members are:
