Meet the Elders
Jesus Christ is the head of His church. He appoints elders in a local church to take oversight and responsibility. We currently have three elders: Andrew Deaville, Mike Houghton and Colin Davies.
Andrew and Sulam
Andrew grew up in Epsom and works as a Kitchen Gardener in London. He
and Sulam have been married since 2012 having met in Florida. They have
served in South Africa and Devon in agriculture related ministry and
moved
back to Epsom in 2017. They have 2 young children.
Mike and Julie Mike and Julie have been a part of Epsom Christian
Fellowship since the early 1980s and were married in the ECF church hall
in 1985. They have lived in Epsom for most of their married life apart
from several years working abroad in Nepal. They have 5 children and 4 grandchildren. In addition to his leadership role at ECF, Mike works
part time for a charity that supports people affected by leprosy in
Nepal; Julie is a part time piano teacher.
